Abstract: Section 1955 of the Public Health Service Act (42 USC 300x-65), as amended by the Children's Health Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-310) and Sections 581-584 of the Public Health Service Act (42 USC 290kk et. seq., as added by the Consolidated Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 106-554)), set forth various provisions which aim to ensure that religious organizations are able to compete on an equal footing for Federal funds to provide substance abuse services. The regulations ensure that SAMHSA substance abuse programs are neutral with regard to the religious character of participating organizations and establish clearly the proper uses to which funds may be put and the conditions for receipt of funding. SAMHSA also provided a model "Notice to Individuals Receiving Substance Abuse Services" for use by religious organizations to inform program beneficiaries or potential beneficiaries who object to the religious character of that program participant that they have the right to referral to an alternate provider.
