planned award by CSAT/SAMHSA to

the American Council for Drug

Education of New York to enhance and

expand the quality of referral services,

responsiveness, and information

currently being provided to the public

general public on the incidence and

prevalence of drug use and prevention

and treatment approaches. The Helpline

is a source of important information for

drug users at risk for contracting and

spreading the AIDS virus as well.

Upon receipt of the satisfactory

application recommended for approval

by an Initial Review Group and the

CSAT National Advisory Council, up to

$200,000 in Federal funds may be

to substance abuse treatment. The

Helpline is the only organization
