Purpose

Offers funding to increase access to community-based prevention strategies, including social detoxification services, for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and other substance use disorders (SUD) in McKinley County, New Mexico. Proposals must include the 3 critical components of community-based social detoxification:

  • Evaluation
  • Stabilization
  • Fostering patient readiness for and entry into treatment

PARD is an initiative of the IHS Alcohol and Substance Abuse Branch (ASAB).

Required activities include:

  • Evaluating clients encountering the detoxification program through drug-testing, measuring client coordination and concentration, screening for co-occurring mental and physical conditions, and comprehensive assessment of clients' medical, psychological, social conditions, including historical trauma
  • Stabilizing clients in detoxification by supporting them through acute intoxication and withdrawal until they are medically stable and substance free, familiarizing patients with the detoxification process, providing meals, showers, hygiene kits, and other daily living necessities
  • Fostering readiness for the clients' entry into AUD or SUD treatment by stressing the importance of clients completing their treatment plans, providing patients encouragement to continue in treatment, offering recovery pathways and connecting clients to treatment after detoxification, and measuring the overall treatment process and results for individuals during and after detoxification

Applicants are encouraged to develop work plans that emphasize cross-system collaboration, the inclusion of family and social support systems, community resources, and culturally appropriate approaches.

Amount of Funding

Award ceiling: $2,000,000 per year

Estimated total program funding: $2,000,000

Who Can Apply

Eligible applicants are public or private institutions operated by a state, local, tribal, or private entity that operates direct, on-site AUD and/or SUD treatment services, including social alcohol detoxification services.

Funding will be focused on serving tribal communities with the highest burden of alcohol-related deaths among AI/AN populations. IHS analyzed the national rates of causes of deaths using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and determined that McKinley County, New Mexico, including Gallup, continues to have the highest burden of alcohol-related deaths among AI/AN persons.

Applicants must serve AI/AN populations and must be able to start services on the first day of the award.
