Substance Abuse Prevention, Treatment and Aftercare (SAPTA) Program

The Substance Abuse Prevention, Treatment, and Aftercare (SAPTA) program continues to implement evidence-based and practice-based models with culturally appropriate approaches to prevention, treatment, and aftercare within American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) Tribal and Urban communities.

The 36 SAPTA grantees focus on substance abuse 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 AI/AN populations. Grantees will accomplish these goals by:

  • Improving care coordination;
  • Expanding behavioral health care services through the use of culturally appropriate evidence-based and practice-based models to address these issues; and
  • 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.
