Grants to Expand Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity in Targeted Areas of Need: The purpose of the Targeted Capacity Expansion Grants program is to expand and/or enhance the community?s ability to provide a comprehensive, integrated, and community-based response to a targeted, well-documented substance abuse treatment capacity problem and/or improve the quality and intensity of services. For example, a community might seek a Targeted Capacity Expansion Grant to add state-of-the-art treatment approaches or new services to address emerging trends or unmet needs (e.g., intensive case management, referral, and follow-up services to address related HIV, tuberculosis, hepatitis B and C, and other primary health care needs of substance abusing clients). Applicants are encouraged to engage (coordinate with or subcontract) the skills of private, non-profit, and community-based organizations not eligible to apply on their own because they are not a State or local government entity. To encourage the substance abuse treatment system to become more responsive and bridge the gap between what is needed by individual States, localities, and/or tribal organizations, and what is known about effective treatments to meet those needs, SAMHSA/CSAT intends to fund programs in four areas in FY 2004: 1) treatment for minority populations*; 2) treatment in rural areas; 3) treatment focused on methamphetamine and other emerging drugs; and 4) other innovative approaches to treatment capacity expansion that: focus on early identification of, and intervention for, persons with substance use disorders that have not progressed to dependence; are implemented in general medical and other community settings (e.g., community health centers. social services agencies, schools/school-based health clinics and student assistance programs, occupational health clinics, hospitals, emergency departments); and seek to improve linkages among such community agencies and specialist substance abuse treatment agencies.
