Culturally Competent Substance Abuse Treatment

The following providers were awarded a grant from July 1, 2014 - June 30, 2016, to implement Culturally Competent Substance Abuse Treatment pilot projects (CCTP), through a request for proposal process:

• Provide substance abuse treatment services using evidence-based methods or curricula that have demonstrated positive outcomes with the target population.
• Identify barriers and work with community supportive services to assist clients to participate in and complete CCTP services.
• Assess CCTP effectiveness and client outcomes by maintaining contact with clients for six (6) months after discharge.
• Disseminate CCTP information including, but not limited to, programming, lessons learned, community involvement, and outcomes.
• Train staff to work more effectively with the target population.
• Measure cultural competence and cultural satisfaction of clients, family members and staff.
