Tribal treatment facilities
lead in outreach services
A new report shows that
81 p e rc e n t o f su b stan ce
abuse treatment facilities run
by tribal governm ents p ro
vided outreach services to
persons in the com m unity
who may need treatment.
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.
The report “H alf o f All
Substance Abuse Treatment
Facilities and M ore than
T hree Q uarters o f T hose

ments Offer Outreach Ser
vices” is based on SAMHSA
