  7. CSB Prevention Services • Entirely funded by federal SAPT BG (20% set-aside), local funds or other grants (No GF) • Must meet SAPT BG criteria (evidence-based programs/practices, strategies, target populations) • Six categories of federal strategies: • Information Dissemination • Education • Alternatives • Problem Identification • Community Based Process • Environmental • Over 700,000 individuals participated in CSB prevention programs in 2010

  9. CSB SA TreatmentWhat Services are Provided? • Nearly all CSBs provide outpatient services. • About half provide case management, but fewer than 1/3 of SA CSB clients received service. • About half provide medication assisted treatment. • System wide, there are about 100 community-based detoxification beds. • All CSBs must provide priority access to pregnant women and people who use drugs intravenously. • All CSBs must provide certain supports for pregnant women and women with dependent children. • Eight specialized sites for pregnant women (specialized case management with local health and social services) .

  12. SUD Service Gaps Identified • Multiple studies: OIG in 06 & 08, JLARC in 08 • All communities surveyed by DBHDS in spring to determine availability of & gaps in services • Gaps consistently identified: • Lack of access to adequate capacity of the array of services necessary to support recovery. • Results in inability to match the duration and intensity of service to the extent of abuse or dependence. • Limited use of evidence-based services

  13. Proposals to Expand Capacity to Assure Timely Access to SUD Services • Enhance case management capacity • Develop capacity to serve adolescents • Expand Project Link for pregnant women • Expand peer-run support services • Enhance uniform screening and assessment • Implement a structured systems improvement practice model such as NIATx
