SAMHSA's COSIG program is increasing
the number of substance abuse and mental health treatment programs
that screen and assess for co-occurring disorders, and provide
appropriate treatment for persons found to have such disorders. The
proposed measures will enable SAMHSA to monitor program performance
by COSIG grantees. To implement the performance measures, SAMHSA
developed a set of instruments to collect data on providers'
practices and policy for screening, assessment, and treatment of
co-occurring disorders. Data will be collected from participating
treatment providers within the 15 current COSIG States (i.e.,
Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, the District of Columbia,
Hawaii, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, and Virginia), and in States
receiving future COSIG awards.
