Patients with psychosis (N = 866) were recruited into enhanced or standard Veterans Administration (VA) treatment. Enhanced programs, previously shown to be more effective, were less costly than VA standard care. Adjusted costs fell from $32,000-$55,000 (for the 1st year) to $20,000-$36,000 (for the 4th year). Costs were associated positively with schizophrenia, living in the Northeast region of the United States, and poorer baseline functioning
