Substance Abuse and Suicide Prevention Program: Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Aftercare
The primary purpose of this program is to reduce the prevalence of substance abuse and decrease the overall use of addicting and illicit substances among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations.
Tribes can accomplish these goals by:
1. Improving care coordination; 2. Expanding behavioral health care services through the use of culturally appropriate evidence-based and practice-based models to address these issues; and 3. In addition to any proposed activities for the adult population, develop, or expand on activities for the Generation Indigenous (Gen-I) Initiative by implementing early intervention strategies for AI/AN youth at risk for substance abuse behavior.
In alignment with the Indian Health Service (IHS) 2019-2023 Strategic Plan Goal 1:
To ensure that comprehensive, culturally appropriate personal and public health services are available and accessible to AI/AN people, the Substance Abuse and Suicide Prevention (SASP) program is designed to ensure access to comprehensive, culturally appropriate services and promote quality programming to address substance abuse for AI/AN community members.
The IHS supports Tribal efforts that include addressing substance abuse prevention, treatment, and aftercare from a community-driven context.
The IHS encourages applicants to develop and submit a plan that emphasizes cross-system collaboration, the inclusion of family, youth, and community resources, and culturally appropriate approaches.
