SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO HEALTH SERVICES DEPARTMENT TO SUBMIT A
GRANT APPLICATION TO INCREASE CONSUMER PARTICIPATION IN
REGARDS TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director or designee to submit a Grant Fund
Application to the Department of Health and Human Services/Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration at the Federal level, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment
(CSAT) in the amount of $275,000 for three years, beginning Federal Fiscal Year 01, to
expand and intensify the Partners In Recovery Alliance Program Track II Grant.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no impact on General Funds.
BACKGROUND:
The Partners In Recovery Alliance in collaboration with the Alcohol and other Drugs Advisory
Board of Contra Costa County is one to the first nineteen grantees funded by the Center for
Substance Abuse Treatment to foster participation of people in recovery, their family members
and other allies in the public dialogue about addiction, treatment, and recovery. PIRA is also
one of the few grassroots projects whose members are former clients of publicly funded
treatment programs. PIRA's new grant proposal will expand and intensify its capacity to (1)
develop and support treatment and recovery policies, systems and services that meet the
needs of the recovery communities in California and (2) to mobilize recovery communities in
California counties to create consumer advisory councils that will ensure public participation in
the design, monitoring and evaluation of substance abuse systems of care in their areas; and
(3) to link the regional consumer advisory council with the emerging Alcohol and Other Drug
Policy Institute, an offshoot of the County Alcohol and Other Drug Program Administrators.
