  • Number of individuals referred to treatment and actually entered treatment. (By gaming zone would be sufficient.).
  • Number of individuals entered into treatment by county reported in the same manner VEP data is reported.
  • Number of individuals who successfully completed treatment compared to the number who entered treatment. (An annual statewide number would be sufficient.).
