The report, by the Sub stance A buse and M ental Health Services Administra tion, shows that the level of outreach services provided by tribal substance abuse fa cilities was notably higher than the levels among other private- and public-run facili ties. Overall, 51 percent o f all treatment substance facilities provided outreach services. T h ese services include programs such as behavioral health education, language services, and transportation to treatm ent for m em bers o f the community. These services are espe cially im portant to tradition ally underserved populations, such as people experiencing homelessness, people in ru ral areas, and m em bers o f c e rta in racial an d e th n ic groups. “It is encouraging that half o f all substance abuse treat m ent facilities, and a large majority o f tribal treatm ent facilities, are offering o u t reach services,” said Pamela S. Hyde, administrator o f the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administra tion. “Increasing the numbers o f outreach services is criti cal, so people are not denied access to treatm ent because o f socio-economic, logistical and other reasons.” The following facilities have reported these outreach service levels, as compared to the 81 percent at tribal facilities: Federal governm ent fa cilities: 56 percent. Local, County or commu nity government: 55 percent. Private, non-profit orga nization: 53 percent. State government: 50 per cent. Private, for-profit: 43 per cent. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Ad ministration (SAMHSA) has several programs that pro m ote outreach services to those in need o f treatment, particularly to traditionally underserved communities. These programs include Access to Recovery (ATR) g ran ts, w hich em ploy a voucher m anagem ent sys tem that provides eligible cli en ts th e o p p o rtu n ity to choose clinical treatment and recovery support services from a list o f providers. The six ATR tribal grant ees operating in nine states provide extensive outreach services to rural reservation communities and remote vil lages as well as major met ropolitan areas.
