This program is designed to expand/enhance the continuum of care for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) services and reduce alcohol and other drug (AOD) consumption and its negative health impact. The VA Department of Behavioral Health and Development Services aims to develop a sustainable, statewide infrastructure to increase access to evidence-based screening, early intervention, treatment, and care transition services for substance use and co-occurring problems including depression and suicide for youth age 12-21. This will be achieved through partnerships with pediatric primary care, hospital, and community mental health settings.

This project will fill critical service gaps by providing access to routine and universal risk identification, brief prevention interventions, treatment, and care navigation support. The goal is to turn the tide of youth substance use and mental health risk in our state.
