WATSON The National Directory of Drug Abuse Treatment Programs was prepared by the Institute of Behavioral Research, Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, Texas, under Contract No. HSM 42-70-37 with the National Institute of Mental Health. The National Clearinghouse for Drug Abuse Information would appreciate receiv- ing information about treatment programs that are not listed here as well as correc- tions for entries in this Directory. Such information will be used to update the Clearinghouse files and will be published in subsequent editions of the treatment program Directory. Supplementary information or corrections should be sent to the National Clearinghouse for Drug Abuse Information, Program Information Services— Dept. MEK, Room 8C09, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20852. For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 foreword why The growing incidence of the abuse of drugs and other substances during the past few years has correspondingly precipitated the development of many types of drug abuse treatment programs and treatment facilities in the United States. The treatment programs and the facilities in which they are operated show wide variability—from simple store- front operations to complex administrative organizations and medical services through large hospitals. Some time ago it was recognized that a nationwide inventory of drug abuse and addiction treatment facilities was urgently needed. In response to that need the NIMH Division of Narcotic Addiction and Drug Abuse initiated efforts to provide such a listing. The initial Directory of Narcotic Addiction Treatment Agencies in the United States 1968-1969 repre- sented the first national listing of heroin treatment programs since the 1963 report of the President’s Advisory Commission on Narcotic and Drug Abuse; the present Directory, encompassing treatment programs for all types of drug abuse, is a significant expansion of the initial publication. This updated and enlarged version is a product of the coordinated efforts and talents of the NIMH Center for Studies of Narcotic and Drug Abuse, the National Clearinghouse for Mental Health Information, and the Biometry Branch. Included with each listing is a descriptive outline of the treatment program, so that .indi- viduals who use the Directory can assess whether specific programs meet their treatment needs. Also every entry in the Directory, plus descriptions of treatment programs established since the Directory went to press, have been processed into the computer files of the Na- tional Clearinghouse for Drug Abuse Information. This information will be continually updated, so that at any time current descriptions of treatment programs will be available upon request to the Clearinghouse. The NIMH Division of Narcotic Addiction and Drug Abuse and the Office of Communica- tions offer this Directory as a reference tool and referral source for all professionals who, in the course of their work, have occasion to deal with persons suffering adverse effects from abuse or overdose of drugs. It is our hope that this Directory will thus serve to speed the referral and treatment process for those who suffer from drug abuse, will foster information exchange among agencies who operate treatment programs, and will give some notion of the magnitude and scope of treatment programs currently existing in the United States. WILLIAM E. BUNNEY, JR., M.D. Director Division of Narcotic Addiction and Drug Abuse National Institute of Mental Health 14174 i preface This Directory presents descriptive information on approximately 1,300 drug abuse treat- ment programs located in 47 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The informa- tion was collected through an extensive survey of agencies to locate appropriate programs, and later, the distribution of data forms to those programs. The survey was initiated in Sep- tember 1970, and the program information was collected between March and September 1971. The purpose of this project, organization and extent of coverage of the Directory, and the survey procedures are summarized below. Purpose—The object was to prepare a comprehensive compendium of drug abuse treatment programs which could be used as a referral source for people in need of services as the result of the abuses of opiates, amphetamines, barbiturates, hallucinogens, solvents, and other substances (excluding alcohol where it is the primary substance of abuse) which have potential danger to the central nervous system. Organizations to be included in the directory were defined as facilities and centers having established programs dedicated to systematic treatment of drug dependence, abuse, addiction and habituation, and/or handling and referral of medical, psychiatric, family, or social emergencies resulting from the use of drugs. Agencies incorporating treatment or rehabilitation of drug abusers within a broader health or community service program and indicating a readiness to accept additional drug abuse patients were also included. The scope of the project was restricted to treatment and rehabilitation facilities. Services related to drug abuse education and prevention were not included unless they had a treatment and rehabilitation component. Arrangement and content of program entries —The text is divided into sections by states which are arranged alphabetically and are easily identifiable by page headings. Within each state section, entries are alphabetized by city and then by program name within a given city. As will be explained below in a discussion of the extent of survey coverage, all drug abuse treatment services in operation could not be included in this Directory. Lack of an entry in a particular location should not necessarily be construed as indicating that no services are available in the vicinity. Where no program is represented, the reader is advised to consult local public health and mental health facilities, social service organizations, and crisis telephone services for information on available drug abuse treatment. Each entry consists of identifying information including program name, address, tele- phone number, and the name of the person in charge, followed by a five-part program description. The TYPE OF PROGRAM section indicates the treatment facilities available, the types of clients or patient served, funding sources, date of establishment, relationship to other organi- zations, and information about fees. Whenever such data were available, a numerical interval enclosed in parentheses follows the program description section. The average number of drug abusers served by the treatment program each month is represented in these figures. SERV- ICES provides a listing of treatment modalities and other means of assistance available to drug abusers. The principal or routine services offered by the program are listed first and are followed by a statement of all other services available. ADMISSION states requirements and restrictions limiting eligibility for acceptance in a given program. Summary informa- tion on pertinent characteristics of the patient population is contained in the CLIENTELE section. The final section lists STAFF members according to job classification, status as paid or volunteer workers, and whether or not they are former drug abusers. In some cases, all of the above information was not available. Survey procedures —The basic steps followed in conducting the survey were (1) location and identification of drug abuse treatment facilities, (2) distribution and collection of ques- tionnaires reporting descriptive information on the programs, and (3) followup contact with agencies returning questionnaires having incomplete or apparently contradictory information. The identification phase required the distribution of over 7,000 one-page Preliminary Inquiry forms, which asked whether the recipient agency offered drug abuse treatment and, if so, the number of separate treatment programs conducted by the agency. Organizations operat- ing more than one specific program were asked to indicate whether or not questionnaires should be mailed individually to the separate programs or to a central respondent for completion. The initial list of agencies in the preliminary survey was derived from the Insti- tute of Behavorial Research files which have been compiled from previous survey and direc- tory projects on drug abuse. The listing was greatly supplemented by State mental health departments and mental health facilities identified by the Biometry Branch of the NIMH Office of Program Planning and Evaluation, selected agencies and professionals subscribing to Drug Abuse Notes (now discontinued) of the NIMH National Clearinghouse for Mental Health Information, a mailing list generously supplied by the California Youth Authority which contained all drug programs to be included in a State directory then under preparation, and all the member hospitals of the California Hospital Association. Most of the Preliminary Inquiries returned included suggestions of other local programs involved in drug abuse treatment. These suggestions were added to the mailing list as soon as they were received. Following distribution and return of the Preliminary Inquiries, questionnaires were sent to all of the programs identified. The questionnaire was a five-page data form allowing the respondent to report on his program by checking appropriate categories or, in a few cases, by writing short answers. Questionnaires were carefully examined when received and cross- checked for overlap with other returns, especially in jointly operated programs or inter- related treatment networks. Considerable effort was made to assure accurate interpretation and transfer of information from the questionnaires to entries in the Directory. This generally required further communication with the respondent. To reduce as much as possible the time between collection of information and its publication, the bulk of followup was done by telephone. Extent of coverage —Of 7,000 Preliminary Inquiries mailed to a variety of agencies and professionals in the effort to locate drug abuse treatment programs, about 4,000 were returned. Some 60 percent of the agencies that responded to the Preliminary Inquiry did not offer drug abuse treatment services which met the program definition cited in the state- ment or purpose. Including returned inquiry forms which reported multiple treatment components, this part of the survey indicated the existence of about 2,000 drug abuse treatment programs throughout the country. Ideally, all 2,000 would have been represented in this Directory. However, completion of questionnaire information to be included in this reference was on a voluntary basis, and some program administrators chose not to participate. Consequently, the Directory covers a little more than half that number. The following table depicts the distribution of programs by state. The first column of figures indicates the number of programs located during the survey; those which submitted questionnaires and are individually represented in the Direc- tory are shown in the second column.

DEENA D. WATSON, M.A. S$.B. SELLS, PH.D., Assistant Research Scientist, Professor and Director, Institute of Behavorial Research, Institute of Behavioral Research, Project Director Principal Investigator vii acknowledgements The directors and staff members of many agencies, not all of which are represented in this Directory, have given generously of their time to contribute information, and their suggestions are gratefully appreciated. Officials of many State and regional organizations were particularly helpful in locating programs within their areas of responsibility. Special thanks are due to the following people who assisted in identifying numerous programs: Chester Roberts, California Youth Authority; Andrew Oppman, California Hospital Association; Harold Meiselas and Leon Brill, New York State Narcotic Addiction Control Commission; Carl Taube, Biometry Branch of NIMH Office of Program Planning and Evaluation. Jacquelyn Hall of the National Clearinghouse for Mental Health Information and Eleanor Carroll of the Center for Studies of Narcotic and Drug Abuse provided exceptional encour- agement and assistance throughout the entire project. A warm note of appreciation and praise is extended to them. Any project of such scope and duration would have been im- possible to complete without the wisdom and guidance, as well as confidence generated by the principal investigator, S. B. Sells, Ph.D., professor and director, Institute of Be- havioral Research. Recognition is finally due to the perseverance and flexibility of the project staff: Janice Neman, Virginia Lederer, Steve Angle, Joan McGhee, Byerly Wood- ward, Linda Murphy, and Bill Brown.
