Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) According to the Department of Health and Human 
        Services, each year drug and alcohol related abuse kills more 
        than 120,000 Americans.
            (2) In 1999, an estimated 14,800,000 Americans were current 
        illicit drug users.
            (3) States across the country are faced with increasing 
        demands for drug treatment programs.
            (4) In addition, methamphetamine abuse continues to be on 
        the rise. Methamphetamine abuse accounts for 5.1 percent of all 
        treatment admissions, which was the fourth highest percentage 
        after cocaine, heroin, and marijuana.
            (5) Current statistics show that methamphetamine use is 
        increasing rapidly especially among the nation's youth.
            (6) There are over 2,800,000 substance abusers in America 
        in need of treatment.
            (7) This number exceeds the 2,137,100 persons receiving 
        treatment.
            (8) Recent reports indicate that every additional dollar 
        invested in substance abuse treatment saves taxpayers $7.46 in 
        societal costs.
            (9) In California, the average cost to taxpayers per 
        inmate, per year, is $23,406 versus the national average cost 
        of $4,300 for a full treatment program.
            (10) Drugs and alcohol cost taxpayers nearly 
        $276,000,000,000 annually in preventable health care costs, 
        extra law enforcement, auto crashes, crime and lost 
        productivity versus $3,100,000,000 appropriated for substance 
        abuse-related activities in fiscal year 2000.
            (11) Nationwide, 59 percent of police chiefs believe that 
        drug offenders are served better by participation in treatment 
        programs versus prisons only.
            (12) Current treatment on demand programs such as those in 
        San Francisco and Baltimore focus on the specific drug abuse 
        needs of the local community and should be encouraged.
            (13) Many States have developed programs designed to treat 
        non-violent drug offenders and this should be encouraged.
            (14) Drug treatment prevention programs must be increased 
        in order to effectively address the needs of those actively 
        seeking treatment before they commit a crime.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

    It is the purpose of this Act to--
            (1) assist individuals who seek the services of drug abuse 
        treatment programs by providing them with treatment on demand;
            (2) provide assistance to help eliminate the backlog of 
        individuals on waiting lists to obtain drug treatment for their 
        addictions;
            (3) enhance public safety by reducing drug-related crimes 
        and preserving jails and prison cells for serious and violent 
        criminal offenders;
            (4) complement the efforts of law enforcement by providing 
        additional funding to expand current community-based treatment 
        efforts and prevent the recidivism of those currently in the 
        correctional system; and
            (5) assist States in the implementation of alternative drug 
        treatment programs that divert non-violent drug offenders to 
        treatment programs that are more suited for the rehabilitation 
        of drug offenders.
