About this opportunity

The purpose of this jointly funded program is to integrate care (behavioral health HIV medical care services) for racial/ethnic minority populations at high risk for behavioral health disorders and high risk for or living with HIV. The grant will fund programs that provide coordinated and integrated services through the co-location of behavioral health treatment and HIV medical care. This program is primarily intended for substance abuse treatment programs and community mental health programs that can co-locate and fully integrate HIV prevention and medical care services within them. However, if it is demonstrated that co-location is not possible and full integration can still be achieved through other means, this will be acceptable. SAMHSA funds must be used for behavioral health screening; primary substance abuse and HIV prevention; substance abuse, mental health, and co-occurring treatment; creation of infrastructure to provide integrated care; HIV and hepatitis screening and testing, and hepatitis vaccination.Substance abuse, mental health, and co-occurring treatment and HIV medical services must be integrated through either the co-location of services or other means that demonstrate full service integration, providing transportation to get clients to the HIV medical provider, providing a nurse for case management to monitor both the HIV and behavioral health services that the client is receiving. Co-location is defined as providing the HIV services within the physical space of the behavioral health program. If co-location is not possible, the applicant must provide a plan for fully integrating behavioral health and HIV primary care. Integration is defined as the clients receiving the entire spectrum of HIV medical care in conjunction with the behavioral health services being received. See Appendix N for more information on co-location and integration requirements. Grant funds must be used to serve the populations of focus for this program: racial/ethnic minority populations at high risk for or have a mental and/or substance abuse disorder and who are most at risk for or living with HIV, including African American and Latino women and men, gay and bisexual men, transgendered persons, and substance users. Other high priority populations, such as American Indian/Alaskan Natives, Asian Americans, and other Pacific Islanders may be included based on the grantee’s local HIV/AIDS epidemiological profile. As a result of this program SAMHSA expects the following outcomes: 1) increased HIV testing to identify behavioral health clients who are unaware of their HIV status; 2) increased diagnosis of HIV among behavioral health clients; 3) increased number of clients who are linked to HIV medical care; 4) increased number of behavioral health clients who are retained in HIV medical care; 5) increased number of behavioral health clients who are receiving antiretroviral 6) improved adherence to behavioral treatment and ART; 7) increased number of behavioral health clients who have sustained viral suppression; and 8) increased adherence and retention in behavioral health (both substance use and mental disorders) treatment. It is expected that effective person-centered treatment will reduce the risk of HIV transmission, improve outcomes for those living with HIV, and ultimately reduce new infections. SAMHSA also expects an increase in behavioral health screenings, and a decrease in burden of behavioral health disorders in the surrounding community through partnering with community based organizations to provide substance abuse and HIV primary prevention services. The majority of those with behavioral health disorders and HIV infection currently must obtain services for these conditions in separate settings (the substance use and/or mental disorder is treated in a behavioral health program and the HIV care is provided in a separate medical services program).
