Division of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Treatment Expansion

The first two years
Download: Report   

 

Summary: Senate Bill 5763, The Omnibus Treatment of Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders Act of 2005, provided the Division of Alcohol and Substance Abuse funds for alcohol or other drug treatment for chemically dependent adults and substance-abusing youth. Funding for adults on Medicaid and General Assistance was based on assumed savings in medical and long-term care costs. Funding for youth in households with incomes below 200 percent of the federal poverty level assumed no offsetting savings. The 2007 Budget Act provides ongoing funding for the DASA Treatment Expansion and requires the department to submit a report relating to patients receiving services through Treatment Expansion funds and other patients receiving alcohol or other drug treatment funded by DSHS. This study provides a status report on the programs funded by these dollars.
