• Detailed Information

  • SAMHSA's mission is to lead public health and service delivery efforts that promote mental health, prevent substance misuse, and provide treatments and supports to foster recovery while ensuring equitable access and better outcomes.

    Some Programs that are available to assist those struggling with substance misuse: 

    - Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs): Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) are designed to ensure access to coordinated comprehensive behavioral health care. CCBHCs are required to serve anyone who requests care for mental health or substance use, regardless of their ability to pay, place of residence, or age. This includes developmentally appropriate care for children and youth.

    - Communities Talk to Prevent Alcohol and Other Drug Misuse: Communities can move mountains when they talk, share, and take action to prevent alcohol and other drug misuse. Each year, community-based organizations of all kinds—including local chapters of national organizations, community and youth-led coalitions, colleges, and universities nationwide—hold creative events and activities that mobilize their communities to both learn about substance misuse and put prevention strategies in place.
    

    - Drug-Free Workplace Programs: Drug-Free workplace programs are comprehensive programs that address illicit drug use by federal employees and in federally regulated industries.

    - Early Childhood Mental Health Programs: As a part of its mission to reduce the impact of substance use and mental illness on our communities, SAMHSA funds programs that promote and support the health and wellness of young children and their families. (Project Launch, Infant Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) Grant Program, Center of Excellence for Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation)

    - Homelessness Programs and Resources: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is one of the leading federal agencies addressing the issue of housing stability for individuals with serious mental illness, in addition to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH). On May 18, 2023, we joined other federal agencies as well as state and local leaders to launch ALL INside, a first-of-its kind initiative to address unsheltered homelessness across the country.
