REPORT
TO CONGRESS Report to Congress on the Prevention and Treatment of Co-occurring Substance Abuse Disorders and Mental Disorders The Youth Drug and Mental Health Services Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-301) required SAMHSA to submit a Report to Congress on Individuals with Co-occurring Disorders. AHP senior staff researched and wrote all initial text for the 150-page report, which includes demographic and epidemiological data, prevention strategies, a summary of evidence-based practices for co-occurring disorders, and SAMHSA’s 5-Year Blueprint for Action. AHP collected and analyzed both verbal and written input from other federal agencies, national organizations, states, providers, advocates, consumers, and families. AHP staff also reviewed epidemiological literature and consulted with experts in the field. The report is available at www.samhsa.gov/news/cl_congress2002.html.
