Program evaluation contracts that NPIC/QAS held to assist program efforts to integrate substance abuse treatment with HIV prevention, counseling and testing efforts ended in September 2008. NPIC/QAS continues to consult with these agencies and will assist them in finding new funding in 2009.

Past Performance

MAP Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitative Services
These services are based at MAP in RI and expand the full range of substance abuse treatment and HIV prevention and case management services to those of minority status. The CSAT contract ended in September, 2008. Behavioral health treatment and HIV prevention, counseling and testing services continue to be provided through other funding (including Center for Disease Control funding).

NPIC/QAS previously worked with MAP (10/00 - 9/03) on a Treatment Capacity Expansion-HIV grant to expand treatment capacity and integrate HIV prevention/outreach efforts with behavioral health treatment.

SSTAR “onTrac” Program
Stanley Street Treatment and Resources (SSTAR) in Fall River, MA, until September 2008, held a Treatment Capacity Expansion/HIV grant through CSAT to enhance and expand outreach, pretreatment and treatment services to a community that has been highly affected by the epidemic of substance abuse and HIV/AIDS, especially among women. Care coordination services were not sustained following grant closure. However, SSTAR continues to provide the full range of behavioral health treatment, as well as outpatient medical care at the agency's Fall River campus.
