Center for Substance Abuse Treatment Projects of Regional and National Significance

The Center for Substance Use Treatment (CSAT) projects for regional and national significance support states, tribes and communities through grants and cooperative agreements. CSAT programs support those with substance use disorders to receive effective treatment and achieve long-term recovery by improving access, quality, equity, and system capacity nationwide. This is achieved by 1) expanding access to substance use disorder treatment; 2) improving the quality of treatment services; 3) supporting recovery-oriented systems of care; 4) addressing the opioid and overdose crisis; and 5) strengthening the treatment workforce.

Eligible applicants are Single State Agencies (SSAs) for Substance Use. The District of Columbia, Guam, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau are also eligible to apply.

A merit review is conducted on the applications submitted, which includes a description of the proposed project.
