Drug and Alcohol Abuse: Billions Spent Annually for Treatment and Prevention Activities (Letter Report, 10/08/96, GAO/HEHS-97-12).
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the financial support provided for substance abuse and treatment activities by federal, state, and local governments and the private sector.
GAO found that: (1) federal funding for substance abuse treatment and prevention activities for fiscal year (FY) 1994 totalled $4.4 billion; (2) the Departments of Health and Human Services, Education, and Veterans Affairs provided 83 percent of total federal funding for treatment and prevention activities for FY 1994; (3) many federal programs targeted specific population groups and provided a wide range of treatment and prevention services; (4) state, county, and local governments' total expenditures for treatment and prevention activities amounted to $1.6 billion for FY 1994; (5) private funding for substance abuse treatment totalled $1 billion in 1993; (6) the financial information provided by federal, state, and local governments underestimated the total amount spent on drug abuse and prevention services because they did not report all sources of contributions; (7) treatment services received the greater portion of funding from all entities; and (8) from FY 1990 to 1994, the federal government increased its financial support for treatment and prevention activities by 60 percent and state, county, and local governments' combined funding for treatment and prevention activities increased by 22 percent.

October 8, 1996
The Honorable Bob Livingston Chairman, Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives
The Honorable John Edward Porter Chairman, Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives
Drug and alcohol abuse are major problems confronting America.\1 In 1994, more than 25 million people were estimated to have used an illicit drug in the past year; 3.9 million used cocaine, and about 350,000 used heroin. A large proportion of illicit drug users are marijuana users. Additionally, about 140 million people aged 12 and older were estimated to have used alcohol in the past year, and about 73 percent of high school seniors surveyed had consumed alcohol in the past year. To help combat substance abuse, federal, state, and local governments and the private sector fund treatment and prevention activities. As the Congress makes decisions about appropriating funds for such activities, information about the relative contributions of the various government and private funding sources for these treatment and prevention activities is not routinely available to it.
This report responds to your request for information that provides a broader picture of the financial support provided for substance abuse treatment and prevention activities. Specifically, you asked us to use available data sources to determine the total funding reported to be provided by federal, state, and local governments and the private sector. You also asked that we include descriptions of substance abuse programs and activities that are federally funded and the populations they serve.
To provide funding information on substance abuse treatment and prevention activities, we obtained information on (1) federal budget authority\2 for fiscal years 1990 through 1994 from the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP); (2) expenditure data for state, county, and local governments for fiscal years 1990 through 1994 from the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors (NASADAD); and (3) 1993 private funding for treatment services from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), as well as information on the top foundation contributors for 1993 and 1994 from the Foundation Center. To obtain descriptions of federal programs and target populations, we used ONDCP's budget summaries as our primary source of information. These data were the latest available from the sources mentioned above. Even though federal and state fiscal periods often differ, to be as consistent as possible, we analyzed funding data reported for fiscal years 1990 through 1994.
Although the data contained in this report were the latest and most comprehensive that were readily available, they do not reflect the total contributions of public and private sources that fund substance abuse treatment and prevention activities.\3 For example, federal data do not include alcohol-only programs; state and county expenditure data represent only those programs that receive funds from state alcohol and drug abuse agencies; and private sector funding is for treatment services only. (See app. I for a detailed description of our scope and methodology.)
-------------------- \1 Throughout this report, "drug and alcohol abuse" is referred to as "substance abuse."
\2 Budget authority is the authority provided by law to enter into financial obligations that will result in immediate or future outlays involving federal government funds.
\3 Our three primary data sources (ONDCP, NASADAD, and SAMHSA) use different methods of collecting and reporting data, and they do not include all possible sources of funding for substance abuse prevention and treatment activities.
RESULTS IN BRIEF ------------------------------------------------------------ Letter :1
Federal, state, county, and local governments and the private sector together reported contributing several billion dollars annually to substance abuse treatment and prevention programs, with a large portion going to treatment services. However, this estimate probably understates the total amounts because these entities do not report their total contributions to treatment and prevention activities. From fiscal year 1990 through 1994, federal funding jumped from $2.8 billion to $4.4 billion, with the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Veterans Affairs (VA), and Education accounting for about 83 percent of this amount. Combined state, county, and local expenditures increased from about $1.3 billion to about $1.6 billion.\4 Although data on private sector funding for substance abuse treatment are very limited, available sources indicate funding of more than $1 billion in 1993.
Numerous programs in 16 federal agencies cover a broad range of treatment and prevention services and often target specific populations, such as youths, women, and veterans. Generally, treatment services include diagnostic assessment, detoxification, and counseling. Prevention activities usually include providing information and education about alternatives to and consequences of alcohol abuse and illicit drug use. Examples of federal programs that provide treatment, prevention, or both services include the Pregnant and Postpartum Women and Infants program and the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities program.
-------------------- \4 Because fiscal year periods can differ among federal, state, county, and local governments, this dollar range is as precise as possible.
BACKGROUND ------------------------------------------------------------ Letter :2
The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-690) requires ONDCP to develop a national drug control strategy, in consultation with agency and department heads and others involved in drug control matters. With the President's approval, this strategy is submitted annually to the Congress. In addition to long- and short-term objectives, it contains information on past and estimated future federal funding in support of efforts to reduce drug supply and demand.
Each year since 1983, state alcohol and drug agencies have voluntarily submitted data detailing the fiscal, client, and other aspects of their substance abuse programs to NASADAD. The state, county, and local governments' expenditure data, including federal support, are analyzed and published by NASADAD under a contract with SAMHSA of HHS. Also, SAMHSA collects data on private funding for substance abuse treatment services through its survey of drug and alcohol treatment units.
The primary source of our information on contributions from private and community foundations has been the Foundation Center. The Foundation Center, established in 1956, is an independent, nonprofit service organization. Its mission is to foster public understanding of institutional philanthropy by collecting, organizing, analyzing, and disseminating information on foundations, corporate giving, and other topics.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FUNDS A MAJOR PORTION OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION ACTIVITIES ------------------------------------------------------------ Letter :3
The federal government provides a large portion of the financial support for substance abuse treatment and prevention activities. For fiscal year 1994, federal budget authority for treatment and prevention activities was $4.4 billion--a 59-percent increase over the 1990 amount.\5 \6 When adjusted for inflation, this equates to a 41.3-percent increase from 1990 through 1994. Three departments--HHS, VA, and Education--accounted for the vast majority of the 1994 budget authority. The substance abuse programs that federal agencies fund provide a variety of services; however, treatment programs received a much larger proportion of funding than prevention programs in 1994. It should be noted that the data we obtained may not accurately represent total federal support for treatment and prevention because some programs may have been omitted and much of the data has not been independently validated.
-------------------- \5 The total federal government funding for efforts to reduce drug and alcohol use in fiscal year 1994 was about $12.2 billion. Activities other than treatment and prevention include, for example, law enforcement and international activities.
\6 In this report, we use a fiscal year's actual budget authority as reported in the following year's national drug control strategy budget summary. For example, fiscal year 1990's actual budget authority was taken from the 1991 National Drug Control Strategy's budget summary. According to ONDCP officials, these amounts do not reflect adjustments made in subsequent years due to congressional action and program changes. Prior years' actual budget authority will continue to be subjected to adjustments that reflect these types of changes. Each year, ONDCP updates prior year actual budget authority figures in the historical tables included in the strategy's appendix.
FEDERAL FUNDING FOR TREATMENT AND PREVENTION HAS INCREASED SINCE FISCAL YEAR 1990 ---------------------------------------------------------- Letter :3.1
Federal funding for substance abuse treatment and prevention activities increased by $1.6 billion from fiscal year 1990 through 1994. During this time period, the number of federal agencies that reported funding for treatment and prevention programs rose from 12 to 16. Federal budget authority for fiscal year 1990 was $2.8 billion, but by fiscal year 1994 the funding amount had reached $4.4 billion. (See app. II for federal funding by agency for fiscal years 1990 through 1994.) The most recent data released by ONDCP show that fiscal year 1995 budget authority for treatment and prevention activities increased about $250 million over the 1994 amount.\7 (See app. III.)
Comparing the funding in fiscal years 1990 and 1994, changes in the budget authority for substance abuse treatment and prevention activities varied widely among federal agencies. The largest dollar increase occurred in HHS' budget, where budget authority increased by about $800 million, from $1.4 billion to $2.2 billion. This change accounted for about one-half of the total increase in federal funding over the 5-year period. Some of the growth can be attributed to the creation of substance abuse block grants and increased reimbursement for treatment services through Medicare and Medicaid.
The changes in funding for substance abuse treatment and prevention services among all 16 agencies ranged from a 196-percent increase to about a 27-percent decrease.\8 The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) had the highest percentage increase in funding. Its budget authority went from $106.5 million to $315 million--the bulk of which appeared to be for increases in drug elimination grants that fund drug prevention and control at public and Native American housing developments. The Department of Justice had the highest percentage decrease. Its budget authority declined from $133 million to about $98 million. Although some offices within Justice experienced increases in their budget authority, the Office of Justice Programs' $50 million decrease resulted in Justice's overall decline in funding for substance abuse treatment and prevention activities.
-------------------- \7 ONDCP's 1996 National Drug Control Strategy contains fiscal year 1995 actual federal budget authority, the 1996 estimate, and the President's 1997 request for substance abuse treatment and prevention activities. Although ONDCP released its 1996 strategy before we issued this report, its data are not included in our analysis of federal funding.
\8 When adjusted for inflation, the percentages range from a 162-percent increase to a 35-percent decrease.
THREE DEPARTMENTS ACCOUNTED FOR MOST FUNDING IN FISCAL YEAR 1994 ---------------------------------------------------------- Letter :3.2
Of the 16 agencies, 3 departments accounted for most of the federal funds that were available for substance abuse treatment and prevention activities in fiscal year 1994. The combined budget authority of HHS, Education, and VA was about $3.68 billion, or 83 percent of the total federal funding for substance abuse treatment and prevention activities for that year. HHS alone, which has the largest number of agencies with substance abuse treatment and prevention programs, accounted for about half of the fiscal year 1994 budget authority. SAMHSA, within HHS, provided more federal funding for substance abuse treatment and prevention activities than any other agency. SAMHSA's fiscal year 1994 budget authority was about $1.4 billion. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), also within HHS, provided the next highest level of funding. Its fiscal year 1994 budget authority was $425.2 million. Figure 1 shows fiscal year 1994 budget authority for substance abuse treatment and prevention activities by agency.

Substance abuse treatment services received a larger proportion of federal budget authority than prevention services in fiscal year 1994. Treatment services accounted for $2.6 billion, or about 60 percent of the total federal funding available. (See fig. 2.)

FEDERAL PROGRAMS PROVIDE A MIXED MENU OF SERVICES FOR TARGETED POPULATIONS ---------------------------------------------------------- Letter :3.3
Federal agencies' programs provide an array of substance abuse treatment services and prevention activities to a variety of targeted population groups. Treatment comprises an assortment of formal organized services for people who have abused alcohol, other drugs, or both. Treatment services can include diagnostic assessment; detoxification; and medical, psychiatric, and psychological counseling. Prevention activities focus on individuals who may be at risk for alcohol or other drug problems. These activities include providing information and education that increase knowledge of drug abuse and alternative drug-free life styles, encouraging communities to implement responses to drug use, and drug testing. One federal program that provides both treatment and prevention services is Head Start, which offers prevention activities for young children and supporting community-based activities for parents and other family members. Another example is the Pregnant and Postpartum Women and Infants program. In part, it funds demonstration programs that coordinate and link health promotion and treatment services for substance-using pregnant women and their young children. The program also supports treatment services in residential settings that permit infants and children to live with their substance-using mothers. Other programs also provide services for specific populations, such as high-risk youth; elementary, secondary, and postsecondary students; and veterans.
Some agencies fund programs whose primary objective is to provide substance abuse treatment and prevention activities. Other agencies' programs include these activities as one component of a nonsubstance abuse program. For example, the main objective of the Department of Agriculture's Special Supplemental Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program is to provide nutritious food and nutrition education to women and children who are considered to be at nutritional risk. As part of nutrition education, WIC counsels participants about the dangers of substance abuse. Program participants are also referred to substance abuse counseling, when appropriate. Appendix IV contains federal agencies' funding levels for substance abuse treatment and prevention and brief descriptions of the federal programs that provided support for these services for fiscal year 1994.
FEDERAL DATA LIMITATIONS AFFECT THEIR USEFULNESS ---------------------------------------------------------- Letter :3.4
ONDCP was the most comprehensive single source for information on federal substance abuse treatment and prevention funding and programs. However, ONDCP's budget summary data are limited in their coverage of substance abuse programs and are not routinely subjected to large-scale verification. We observed that ONDCP does not always include alcohol treatment and prevention programs in its budget summaries. For example, no information on NIH's National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism is included in NIH's budget authority. Moreover, when we compared ONDCP's data with federal agencies' justifications of budget estimates prepared for congressional appropriations committees, the combined funding for three agencies differed by about $655 million in fiscal year 1994.\9 According to ONDCP officials, the differences are due to the inclusion of alcohol-only programs in the agencies' justification of estimates. ONDCP does not include alcohol-only programs in its budget summary because these programs are not "scored"--that is, categorized--as drug programs. Additionally, VA's 1996 congressional budget justification did not include VA's full complement of treatment programs. Data limitations also stem from the use of different methods of estimating the amount of program funding specifically used for substance abuse treatment and prevention and from different determinations of what constitutes a prevention or treatment program.
-------------------- \9 Only SAMHSA, VA, and the Indian Health Service's justifications of estimates for fiscal year 1996 included detailed substance abuse treatment and prevention funding data that allowed for comparisons with ONDCP's budget summaries.
STATE, COUNTY, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS SPEND MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY ------------------------------------------------------------ Letter :4
The combined contributions of state, county, and local governments constitute a sizable portion of the financial support for substance abuse treatment and prevention activities. In fiscal year 1994, these entities spent about $1.6 billion--most of which was used for treatment services.\10 This fiscal year 1994 spending exceeded fiscal year 1990 expenditures by about 22 percent (about 8 percent when adjusted for inflation). Users of these data should note that total spending by state and local governments probably exceeds these reported expenditures.
-------------------- \10 Throughout the discussion of state, county, and local governments' expenditures, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories are counted as states unless otherwise noted.
STATE, COUNTY, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT SPENDING HAS INCREASED SINCE FISCAL YEAR 1990 ---------------------------------------------------------- Letter :4.1
In fiscal years 1990 through 1994, state, county, and local governments' total expenditures increased overall for substance abuse treatment and prevention activities. Combined expenditures rose from $1.3 billion to about $1.6 billion--about a $300 million increase. (App. V shows state, county, and local governments' annual expenditures and the percentage change from fiscal year 1990 through 1994.) On a percentage basis, there was more fluctuation in local governments' spending than in state spending over the 5-year period. Also during this period, combined spending for substance abuse treatment consistently exceeded that for prevention. Although total treatment and prevention expenditures increased over the 5 years, spending for prevention actually decreased by about 1 percent while spending for treatment increased by 26 percent (these percentages equate to 12 and 11 percent, respectively, when adjusted for inflation) (see apps. VI and VII). In fiscal year 1994, treatment services accounted for more than 88 percent of total spending by the entities combined (see fig. 3).
Figure 3: Percentage of State, County, and Local Substance Abuse Expenditures for Treatment and Prevention Activities, Fiscal Year 1994
(See figure in printed edition.)
STATE, COUNTY, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS' DATA LIMITATIONS AFFECT THEIR USEFULNESS ---------------------------------------------------------- Letter :4.2
The expenditure data voluntarily submitted to NASADAD by state and local governments have a number of inherent limitations. One major limitation is that NASADAD asked states to submit expenditure data only for service providers that received at least some portion of their funding from the state alcohol and drug agency during the state's fiscal year. The data therefore do not include information on providers that did not receive any funding from the state alcohol and drug agency, such as private for-profit agencies. As a result, the overall expenditure data submitted to NASADAD are conservative and probably underestimate total funding expenditures by state governments. Furthermore, state-reported expenditures are not verified by NASADAD; instead, NASADAD asks that states confirm that their data are correct.
For some states, complete information is not available on all sources of funding, even for service providers supported by state alcohol and drug agencies. In most of these instances, the amount of unavailable information is probably small. In addition, there are concerns about how consistently providers of treatment and prevention activities classify those activities given the varying interpretations of what constitutes "treatment" and "prevention." The data are also limited by the variations in state fiscal years, raising questions about the appropriateness of comparing expenditures across states.
DATA ON PRIVATE FUNDING OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION ARE SCARCE ------------------------------------------------------------ Letter :5
Comprehensive data on private funding of substance abuse treatment and prevention activities over time are sparse. The National Drug and Alcoholism Treatment Unit Survey (NDATUS), which compiled private contributions from various sources, focused on treatment only.\11 NDATUS data show that private funding for substance abuse treatment services amounted to a little over $1 billion in 1993 (the latest year for which data were available). The largest source of private funding was third-party payments by health insurers and health maintenance organizations (about 55 percent of total private funding). Private donations, which included contributions from foundations, accounted for about 7 percent. (See table 1.)

Source: Office of Applied Studies, NDATUS (Washington, D.C.: HHS, Public Health Service, SAMHSA, 1993).
Data on private donations from foundations show that the top 25 contributors awarded $39.4 million in grants for substance abuse treatment and prevention programs during 1993 and 1994 (the latest years for which grant data were available).\12 The grant amounts ranged from $306,342 to about $18.5 million (see app. VIII). These grants were provided to nonprofit organizations in the United States and abroad to cover substance abuse treatment and prevention programs, including counseling, education, residential care facilities, halfway houses, support groups, family services, community programs, and services for children of drug-dependent parents. Grants were also awarded for medical research on substance abuse and media projects on substance abuse prevention. Population groups receiving the largest grant amounts were alcohol or drug abusers, children and youths, women and girls, economically disadvantaged individuals, offenders or ex-offenders, and minorities.
-------------------- \11 Sponsored by SAMHSA's Office of Applied Studies, NDATUS is a census of substance abuse treatment units in the United States and U.S. territories. Funding data are reported for a 12-month period.

PRIVATE DATA HAVE MAJOR LIMITATIONS THAT AFFECT THEIR USEFULNESS ---------------------------------------------------------- Letter :5.1
The private funding data we used had two significant limitations. First, the latest available NDATUS data on private funding sources were for substance abuse treatment only, and these data were for only 1 year--1993. Second, the response rates of treatment providers to the NDATUS survey were low. The response rates were 21.1 percent for third-party payments, 44.9 percent for client fees, and 15.4 percent for private donations.
CONCLUSIONS ------------------------------------------------------------ Letter :6
Federal, state, county, and local governments and the private sector all provide funding for substance abuse treatment and prevention activities. The latest and best data available show that (1) the federal government has been a major contributor of funds, providing more than $4 billion in fiscal year 1994; (2) state and local governments spent a little more than $1.5 billion in their 1994 fiscal years; and (3) private funding exceeded $1 billion in 1993. According to the data we collected, the federal government increased its support for treatment and prevention activities from fiscal year 1990 through the end of fiscal year 1994 by about 60 percent. Over the same 5-year period, state, county, and local governments' combined funding for treatment and prevention activities increased by about 22 percent.
AGENCY COMMENTS ------------------------------------------------------------ Letter :7
In commenting on a draft of this report, ONDCP concurred with our findings (see app. IX). NASADAD also commented on a draft of this report and agreed with the manner in which we dealt with data it provided on state, county, and local government expenditures. However, NASADAD commented that the changes in state expenditure levels we reported for the 1990 through 1994 time frame were influenced by the time period we chose to review. NASADAD noted that the fiscal year period 1985 through 1989 showed much higher increases in state expenditures. (See app. X.)

SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY =========================================================== Appendix I
To determine the level of federal funding and what federal programs exist for substance abuse treatment and prevention activities, we used three data sources: (1) the Office of National Drug Control Policy's (ONDCP) budget summaries from its National Drug Control Strategies, (2) federal agencies' justifications of estimates for appropriations committees, and (3) the 1995 Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. We also interviewed ONDCP officials. Using the ONDCP budget summaries as our primary data source, we identified federal agencies that fund substance abuse treatment and prevention services and obtained funding data and program descriptions starting in fiscal year 1990. The latest ONDCP budget summary available at the time of our analysis contained actual budget authority for fiscal year 1994, budget estimates for fiscal year 1995, and budget requests for fiscal year 1996.\13 We obtained additional funding data from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) because information on its programs was either not included or not specifically identified in ONDCP's budget summaries. The agencies' justifications of estimates were of minimal use because, in most cases, they did not identify substance abuse treatment and prevention funding or provide a description of the programs. Where possible, we compared the justifications with ONDCP's budget summaries. We reviewed the 1995 Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance but made only minimal use of its data to fill gaps in program descriptions.
Information on state, county, and local governments' spending specifically for substance abuse treatment and prevention activities was generated by the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors (NASADAD) from its computerized database. These data covered state fiscal years from 1990 through 1994 and are based on state-reported expenditures that are not verified by NASADAD. Instead, NASADAD requests that states confirm that their annually reported data are correct. We interviewed NASADAD officials and obtained their views on the state-reported data.
To obtain information on private sector funding, we contacted the Department of Health and Human Service's (HHS) Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and numerous other organizations. These groups included the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers, the Health Insurance Association of America, the American Hospital Association, the National Association of Public Hospitals, and the Center for Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. However, only SAMHSA provided private funding data for multiple sources. These data were collected in the National Drug and Alcoholism Treatment Unit Survey (NDATUS) of treatment providers and covered funding for treatment services in 1993--the latest year for which data were available. Published data on the private foundations that provided the most funding in grants to nonprofit organizations during 1993 and 1994 were obtained from the Foundation Center. We did not identify any data sources with comprehensive information on private funding of substance abuse prevention activities.
We did not verify the federal, state, and private data. The funding data we provide in this report have generally not been adjusted for inflation. In some instances, we did adjust for inflation when presenting changes in funding over time. We conducted our work from February through August 1996 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.
-------------------- \13 ONDCP did not produce a budget summary for fiscal year 1993 that would have contained actual fiscal year 1992 budget authority.

BASIC BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH ---------------------------------------------------- Appendix IV:1.6.1
Biomedical research is used to better understand the addiction process, specifically the mechanisms by which cellular structure affects the function of neurotransmitter receptors and other proteins. Studies can now focus on the precise means by which specific drug receptors are regulated, with implications for discerning possible genetic predispositions to addiction and individual differences in response to treatment.
NEURO-BEHAVIORAL RESEARCH ---------------------------------------------------- Appendix IV:1.6.2
Brain imaging studies make it possible to assess cognitive functioning, feelings of euphoria/dysphoria, and levels of drug craving. Expanding these efforts will aid the development of effective drug abuse medications as well as prophylactic measures for combating and preventing drug abuse. Imaging techniques are promising as diagnostic tools for identifying individuals at high risk for drug abuse and for targeting specific treatment strategies.
PREVENTION-SPECIFIC RESEARCH ---------------------------------------------------- Appendix IV:1.6.3
The National Institute on Drug Abuse's (NIDA) prevention initiatives focus on at-risk youth groups, such as runaways, school dropouts, adolescents showing psychiatric disturbance, unmarried pregnant women, parenting youth, juvenile delinquents, and individuals in the sex trade. Research will continue on the biological and developmental vulnerability to drug addiction, including such studies as the role of genetic factors, the impact of the environment on drug abuse vulnerability, and the impact of behavioral and psychological factors that increase or decrease the likelihood of addiction. Drug treatment is an important avenue for preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS. Outreach activities that bring addicts into treatment and encourage HIV/AIDS risk reduction behavior among those who do not enter treatment will continue.
TREATMENT-SPECIFIC RESEARCH ---------------------------------------------------- Appendix IV:1.6.4
NIDA is continuing to expand its program of controlled testing of promising psychobehavioral therapies. Therapies shown to be most efficacious under ideal conditions will then be tested in community settings. Research will also focus on how best to target services to the needs of special populations, including those in underserved geographic areas. Support will continue for studies of special clinical problems presented by drug abusers with infectious diseases. In addition to synthesizing and testing novel medications for treating cocaine dependence, the medications development program will support a basic research effort to improve understanding of the molecular features of other drug receptors.
EPIDEMIOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------- Appendix IV:1.6.5
NIDA is continuing to support research on the incidence, prevalence, and adverse consequences of illicit drug use. Community-based epidemiologic and ethnographic research is intended to reach youth and other high-risk groups for whom prevention can yield the greatest benefits.
TRAINING, INTRAMURAL, AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT ---------------------------------------------------- Appendix IV:1.6.6
No information was provided in the ONDCP 1995 budget summary.
SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON ALCOHOL ABUSE AND ALCOHOLISM AND NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DRUG ABUSE ---------------------------------------------------- Appendix IV:1.6.7
ONDCP budget summaries do not include funds for alcohol-only programs. Therefore, the alcohol-only programs of NIAAA are not captured in table IV.11. NIDA and NIAAA provided the specific information in table IV.13.

CENTER FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION (CSAP) ---------------------------------------------------- Appendix IV:1.7.1
High Risk Youth: The program provides funding to public and nonprofit private entities to demonstrate and evaluate comprehensive strategies to prevent and reduce the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs among youth at high risk for such behavior. Components of the High Risk Youth program include the projects that demonstrate and evaluate comprehensive strategies to prevent substance abuse-related violence among or affecting youth aged 6 through 14 and specifically tailored to the prevention needs of adolescent females.
Pregnant and Postpartum Women and Infants: This demonstration program targets the substance abuse problems of pregnant and postpartum women and infants. It is intended to develop innovative, community-based models for the coordination of service systems that link health promotion and treatment services for substance-using pregnant women and their young children.
Community Prevention (Partnership): These demonstrations are designed to assist communities in developing comprehensive, coordinated prevention initiatives, including the formation of public and private sector partnerships that are responsive to local, state, and multistate needs. The demonstrations support communitywide, locally identified programs and empower communities to solve their alcohol and other drug problems. Community Partnership grants are awarded to communities for establishing coalitions of organizations (parents, schools, academia, business, industry, government, and professionals) to plan and implement comprehensive prevention efforts.
Public Education and Dissemination: The program provides alcohol and other drug information and training to providers and individuals in schools, workplaces, and communities. Public education initiatives serve a special need both by involving the public and by building and maintaining support for prevention. The National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information is CSAP's primary dissemination channel.
Training: Community prevention training programs provide specialized skills and strategies to Partnership grantees, other prevention coalitions and communities, and state and territorial and Native American tribal agencies working to reduce alcohol and other drug problems. Community resource building, violence prevention, and cultural diversity serve as the primary focus for these training programs. Medical education grants provide appropriate clinical prevention training for health professionals in advanced degree training programs.
Other Demonstrations: These demonstration programs were not clearly defined in the source documents.
CENTER FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT (CSAT) ---------------------------------------------------- Appendix IV:1.7.2
Crisis Areas/Target Cities: A series of intergovernmental cooperative agreements has been designed to improve treatment systems in metropolitan areas. The agreements also link and integrate alcohol and other drug services with disease prevention, primary health, mental health, labor, education, and the justice systems. Through the establishment of central intake, assessment, and referral systems, this initiative facilitates better matching of patients to treatment and more rapid referral to treatment services.
Treatment Improvement:
Pregnant/Postpartum Women: Comprehensive treatment services in residential settings permit infants and children to live with their substance-using mothers. Components of these programs include assessment, crisis stabilization, substance abuse treatment, treatment for children perinatally exposed to alcohol and other drugs, primary health care, prenatal and postnatal health care, and education and counseling related to AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. These programs also address domestic violence; sexual abuse; psychological, legal, and employment issues; and parenting skills.
Critical Populations: These treatment initiatives target outpatient treatment services for a variety of populations, including women and children in or at risk of being in the child welfare system, adolescents, racial and ethnic minorities, and people in rural areas. These initiatives improve physical, emotional, and social functioning; increase educational levels and vocational development; and reduce relapse rates.
Criminal Justice: The program supports and evaluates demonstration projects that offer a wide range of diversion-to-treatment concepts and treatment for high-risk probation and parole clients. Innovative projects involve intensive day treatment centers and case management/supervision models. Under these models, links are developed to family and critical community resources, including education and job placement, mental health services, and housing and related social services.
Treatment Campus: Two campus projects, one in Secaucus, New Jersey, and the other in Houston, Texas, provide a range of state-of-the-art treatment methods and associated social services in settings where several treatment providers share central intake, recreational, and commissary facilities. This demonstration model allows for the comparison and evaluation of alternative approaches to treatment.
Comprehensive Community Treatment Program: The program supports a wide array of substance abuse treatment initiatives designed to improve the effectiveness and comprehensiveness of treatment services. The Rural, Remote, and Culturally Distinct Populations initiative supports substance abuse and/or dependence intervention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals with culturally distinct characteristics. Other initiatives support collaborations with agencies to deliver health care and substance abuse treatment services in rural areas; support substance abuse treatment at four Job Corps Centers across the country; fund projects to develop a manual on a specific clinical intervention for treating homeless individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders; and fund the Models of Managed Care for Supplemental Security Income Beneficiaries program.
Training: The program provides funds for Addiction Training Centers to develop and maintain a network responsible for cultivating and training a cadre of health and allied health practitioners devoted to addiction treatment and recovery. It allows coordination among universities, state and local government programs, and the nonprofit addiction treatment field.
AIDS Demonstrations, Training, and Outreach: The AIDS Health Care Worker Training initiative focuses on the relationships among substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and sexually transmitted diseases in an effort to develop knowledge about and competency-based training in the provision of treatment services. Collaborations with the Health Resources and Services Administration support an AIDS Linkage demonstration designed to strengthen the links among and integration of the primary health care, alcohol, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, and mental health treatment systems. This initiative supports activities to create comprehensive, community-based model programs to better serve the needs of distinct populations (injecting drug users; other high-risk substance abusers; their sexual partners; and, particularly, substance abusers who are members of critical populations). AIDS Outreach Demonstrations support outreach and appropriate service links for the target populations.
Substance Abuse Block Grant: The President's proposed fiscal year 1996 budget restructures the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant into the Substance Abuse Performance Partnership. The proposed legislation assumes maintenance of key requirements, earmarks, and set-asides from the old law.
Treatment Capacity Expansion Program: Before this program expired in fiscal year 1995, its function, in part, was to expand the capacity of treatment programs.
