MASAP, in partnership with the Office of Substance Abuse, has completed the following grants:

• The State Association of Addiction Services (SAAS) funded MASAP to demonstrate effective partnership outcomes between MASAP, the Maine Office of Substance Abuse, and Brown University's  New England Addictions Technology Transfer Center.
• Two grants through the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/Network for the Improvement of Addiction Treatment (NIATx) 
  • The CSAT "Strengthening Treatment Access and Retention– State Implementation" (STAR-SI) - Increase access to and retention in community-based outpatient substance abuse treatment programs. Click here for press Release
  • The RWJF/NIATx   - Change at the state and service provider levels to maximize the implementation of proven addiction treatment practices. Click here for press Release

   

  Goals:

  • Reduce wait time from first contact to first clinical appointment,
  • Reduce number of clients who don’t show up for treatment or drop out of treatment,
  • Increased use of outpatient services by clients with especially difficult problems who are now routinely screened out of treatment.

  Maine is fortunate to be selected as a grantee state.  Nationally, SAAS awarded three grants, CSAT awarded nine grants and RWJF awarded only six grants
