substance abuse problems among the serious and persistently mentally ill
consumers served by the Mental Health Division and the accessibility of
services provided or funded by Community Substance Abuse Services (CSAS) .
The Substance Abuse & Mental Health (SAMH) Services for women will create
another nexus between the Community Substance Abuse Services (CSAS) and
the Mental Health Division of Health Services. CSAS will operate the
SAMH program. The goal of the project is to provide more appropriate
residential services, preserve the investment in primary treatment
through long-term case management, and protect the integrity and quality
of service to women in Contra Costa County.
