Culturally Competent Substance Abuse Treatment
The following providers were awarded a grant from October 1, 2010 - June 30, 2012, to implement Culturally Competent Substance Abuse Treatment pilot projects (CCTP), through a request for proposal process:

The goals of the pilot projects are to:

- identify barriers and work with community supportive services to assist clients with barriers to participate in and complete treatment services,
- assess CCTP effectiveness and client outcomes by maintaining contact with clients for six months after discharge,
- document and provide program outcomes by working with the Iowa Consortium for Substance Abuse Treatment and Research for coordination, monitoring and evaluation throughout the project,
- disseminate CCTP information including, but not limited to, programming, lessons learned, community involvement and outcomes,
- train applicant staff to work more effectively with the target population,
- Measure cultural competence and cultural satisfaction of clients, family members and staff by administration of pre-and post-surveys.
