    3. REQUIREMENTS AND PROVIDER RESPONSIBILITIES All accredited treatment providers, regardless of whether or not they receive Federal SAPT Block Grant funds, are subject to the following provisions of 45 CFR Part 96:

    4. Priority Admission Policy for Intravenous Substance Abusers and Pregnant Women 45 CFR Part 96.131 PRIORITY FOR ADMISSION Pregnant Intravenous Substance Abusers Pregnant Substance Abusers Intravenous Substance Abusers All Others

    5. Pregnant Women 45 CFR Part 96.131 - Treatment Services for Pregnant Women -- requires that treatment providers ensure timely access to treatment services for pregnant women.

    6. Intravenous Substance Abusers 45 CFR Part 96.126 - Capacity for Treatment for Intravenous Substance Abusers -- requires that treatment providers ensure timely access to treatment services for intravenous substance abusers and establish and maintain an Applicant Waiting List.

    7. Waiting List Reporting System Purpose: The system identifies and counts the number of applicants who present and are determined to be appropriate for substance abuse treatment but are unable to be placed as there is no capacity.

    8. Waiting List Reporting System STARS enables the Division of ADA to: monitor the length of time the applicant is on the waiting list; whether the applicant is pregnant; and whether the applicant is an injecting drug user; tracks the date of placement; date of removal; and the reason for removal from the waiting list.

    9. Waiting List Requirements for Intravenous Substance Abusers If individuals in need of treatment for intravenous substance abuse cannot be admitted into a program within 14 days due to insufficient capacity, the provider must establish a waiting list of applicants seeking treatment, including those receiving interim services, while awaiting admission to such treatment.

    10. Interim Services When a person who is an intravenous substance abuser or pregnant seeks treatment and there is no appropriate treatment service available, interim services must be made available within 48 hours to the individual. Interim services must be provided until an individual is admitted to a treatment program.

    11. At a MINIMUM, Interim services must include Counseling and Education about: HIV and tuberculosis (TB); the risks of needle-sharing; the risks of transmission to sexual partners and infants; and steps that can be taken to ensure that HIV and TB transmission does not occur, as well as referral for HIV or TB treatment services if necessary.

    12. Interim services for pregnant women include those listed above as well as: counseling on the effects of alcohol and drug use on the fetus; and referral for prenatal care.

    13. Additional recommended referrals based on the individual may include but are not limited to: self-help recovery groups; pre-recovery and treatment support groups; sources for housing, food and legal aid; case management; childrens services; medical services; and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)

    14. Capacity Reporting System 45 C.F.R. 96.126 - as a condition of receiving Block Grant funding, the State must require programs that receive funding under the grant and that treat individuals for intravenous substance abuse to inform the State when they reach 90 percent of capacity.
