SAMHSA's COSIG program is increasing the number of substance abuse and mental health treatment programs that screen and assess for co-occurring disorders, and provide appropriate treatment for persons found to have such disorders. The proposed measures will enable SAMHSA to monitor program performance by COSIG grantees. To implement the performance measures, SAMHSA developed a set of instruments to collect data on providers' practices and policy for screening, assessment, and treatment of co-occurring disorders. Data will be collected from participating treatment providers within the 15 current COSIG States (i.e., Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, and Virginia), and in States receiving future COSIG awards.
