January 7, 2010 – San Diego, Calif. – Ongoing state budget cuts continue to negatively impact health care services in California. The latest round of budget cuts has eliminated additional health-services programs, including a prominent program for incarcerated women who suffer from drug and alcohol abuse. The program, Forever Free, is operated by San Diego-headquartered Mental Health Systems, Inc. (MHS), a non-profit agency founded in 1978 to improve the lives of individuals, families and communities facing substance abuse and behavioral health challenges.
