Robert Atanda, Ph.D.- Acting Director
Staff

The Division of State and Community Assistance (DSCA) provides the primary link between the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) and the States and Territories in the development and maintenance of treatment systems for people with addictive disorders. DSCA partners with States and Territories to improve treatment accountability, capacity, and effectiveness through infrastructure development, technical assistance, and administration of the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block Grant program.

The Division and its staff offer an array of services and resources intended to enhance Federal and State accountability for the SAPT Block Grant. These range from:

the development of a uniform application to report Statewide substance abuse prevention and treatment activities and service delivery plans;
a State Information System, incorporating information from the Block Grant Application;
the trending and analysis of performance and outcome data for specific states, regions, and the nation;
the conduct of on-site State Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Systems Technical Reviews;
the provision of targeted technical assistance (TA).
