There was 8 transferred to other providers, and really transfers can be a gamut of different things. Either they're not— either the patient or the client is not in the correct level of care based upon their ASAM scores, the client is using or has relapsed, and they would need to go back to detox, or if the client is refusing to engage with the program. In addition to that, there have been a delivery of 400 treatment sessions. 237 Participant appointments have been scheduled, and those are of the 58 individuals. There have been 50 re-engagement attempts made by the Anchorage Recovery Center.
