The Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS) and the Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Programs (BDAP) will be conducting another survey in the near future in an attempt to document the effects of the cuts in the drug and alcohol system. The survey will include questions about the current status of provider programs, cut backs made, etc., and the potential impact if the cuts are not restored. It is crucial that the survey response reflects the facts; therefore, it is important that all concerned make every effort to respond quickly and with as much data as possible.
In addition, PCPA received word today that in addition to stop gap for October form OMHSAS, BDAP has announced that they will allow SIngle County Authorities to draw down funding through December.
Thanks once more for all your help and perseverance. Questions can be directed to Lynn Cooper at the Association.
