                                 A BILL

 
  To amend the Public Health Service Act to provide grant programs to 
            reduce substance abuse, and for other purposes.

United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Drug Treatment and Research 
Enhancement Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) a child that has a positive relationship with both 
        parents is less likely to use illegal drugs;
            (2) family activities, such as eating dinners together and 
        spending quality time together, can reduce the risk that a 
        child engaged by such activities will use illegal drugs;
            (3) most parents today work and have little opportunity to 
        spend quality time with their children;
            (4) many families are headed by single parents who work all 
        day and do not have enough time to spend with their children;
            (5) the 1999 Parent's Resource Institute for Drug Education 
        study (referred to in this section as the ``PRIDE study'') 
        reported that more than 4,000,000 students who are between the 
        ages 11 and 18 used drugs regularly, and more than 1,000,000 of 
        such students used an illegal drug every day;
            (6) the PRIDE study found that students with parents who 
        talked to them about drug use had a 37 percent lower drug use 
        rate than students with parents who did not talk to them about 
        drug use;
            (7) the 1999 Monitoring the Future study found that nearly 
        55 percent of high school seniors in the United States had used 
        an illicit drug in the past month; and
            (8) a 1999 Mellman Group study found that--
                    (A) 56 percent of the population in the United 
                States believed that drug use was increasing in 1999;
                    (B) 92 percent of the population viewed illegal 
                drug use as a serious problem in the United States; and
                    (C) 73 percent of the population viewed illegal 
                drug use as a serious problem in their communities.

        1991 and 1995. Since that time, such heroin use among such 
        youth has remained at the high level reached in 1995.
            ``(2) The sharp increase in heroin use during the 1990's 
        may be a result of the introduction into the market of heroin 
        of a higher purity.
            ``(3) According to the National Center on Addiction and 
        Substance Abuse, 29.9 percent of the population living in rural 
        areas, 32.4 percent of the population living in small cities, 
        and 30.2 percent of the population living in big cities found 
        heroin very easy or fairly easy to procure.
            ``(4) Studies show a high correlation between drug use, 
        availability of drugs, and violence.
            ``(5) A March 2000 report by the Office of National Drug 
        Control Policy reported that in 1999 persons using illegal 
        drugs were 16 times more likely than nonusers to be arrested 
        for larceny or theft, at least 14 times more likely to be 
        arrested for driving under the influence, drunkenness, and 
        liquor law violations, and at least 9 times more likely to be 
        arrested for assault.
    ``(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is--
            ``(1) to educate, train, motivate, and engage key 
        professionals to identify and intervene with children in 
        families affected by substance abuse and to refer members of 
        such families to appropriate programs and services in the 
        communities of such families;
            ``(2) to encourage professionals to collaborate with key 
        professional organizations representing the targeted 
        professional groups, such as groups of educators, social 
        workers, faith community members, and probation officers, for 
        the purposes of developing and implementing relevant core 
        competencies; and
            ``(3) to encourage professionals to develop networks to 
        coordinate local substance abuse prevention coalitions.
    ``(c) Program Authorized.--The Secretary shall award grants to

    ``(f) Use of Funds.--Grants awarded under subsection (c) shall be 
used to--
            ``(1) develop core competencies with various professional 
        groups that the professionals can use in identifying and 
        referring children affected by substance abuse;
            ``(2) widely disseminate the competencies to professionals 
        and professional organizations through publications and 
        journals that are widely read and respected;
            ``(3) develop training modules around the competencies; and
            ``(4) develop training modules for community coalition 
        leaders to enable such leaders to engage professionals from 
        identified groups at the local level in communitywide 
        prevention and intervention efforts.
    ``(g) Definition.--In this section, the term `professional'

    (c) National Institute on Drug Abuse.--Subpart 15 of part C of 
title IV of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 285o et seq.) is

``SEC. 464Q. NATIONAL DRUG ABUSE TREATMENT CLINICAL TRIALS NETWORK.

    ``(a) Program Authorized.--The Director of the Institute shall 
establish a National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network 
(referred to in this section as the Network), and provide support to 
such Network, to conduct large scale drug abuse treatment studies in 
community settings using broadly diverse patient populations.
    ``(b) Activities of Network.--The Network described in subsection 
(a) shall use the support provided under subsection (a) to--
            ``(1) conduct coordinated, multisite, clinical trials of 
        behavioral and pharmacological approaches and combined 
therapies for drug abuse and addiction;
            ``(2) identify factors that affect successful adoption of 
        new treatments in order to transport treatments and use of 
        research settings into real-life practice; and
            ``(3) rapidly and efficiently disseminate scientific 
        findings to the field.
    ``(c) Members of Network.--The Network described in subsection (a) 
shall consist of research and training centers that are linked with 
community-based treatment programs that represent a diversity of 
treatment settings and patient populations in the regions of such 
centers.
    ``(d) Term.--The Director of the Institute shall provide support to 
any center described under subsection (c) for a period not to exceed 5 
years, which may be extended for a period of not more than 5 years at 
the discretion of the Director of the Institute.
    ``(e) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized to be 
appropriated to carry out this section such sums as may be necessary 
for each of the fiscal years 2001 through 2006.''.
    (d) Survey.--Title II of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 
202 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following:

``SEC. 247. SURVEYS.

    ``The results of any federally funded survey under this Act shall 
be made available in at least a preliminary format to the public not

complete.''.

SEC. 6. ADOLESCENT THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY TREATMENT PROGRAMS.

    (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Adolescent 
Therapeutic Community Treatment Programs Act''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Of the adolescents that currently need substance abuse 
        treatment services, only 20 percent of such adolescents are 
        receiving such services.
            (2) Providing alcohol and drug treatment services reduces 
        health care, welfare, and criminal justice costs.
            (3) Studies have found that completion of substance abuse 
        treatment services produces sustained reductions in drug use, 
        welfare dependency, crime, and unemployment.
            (4) The National Institute of Justice Arrestee Drug Abuse 
        Monitoring drug testing program found that more than half of 
        juvenile male arrestees tested positive for at least 1 drug in 
        1998.
            (5) The 1999 Monitoring the Future study showed that more 
        than half of the teenagers in the United States have tried an 
        illicit drug by the time such teenagers finish high school, and 
        more than 28 percent of such teenagers have tried an illicit 
        drug by the time such teenagers are in eighth grade.
            (6) According to the 1998 National Household Survey on Drug 
        Abuse, the average age of new heroin users has dropped from 
        21.2 years of age in 1994 to 17.6 years of age in 1997.
            (7) Studies have shown that intervention at an early stage 
        of addiction is essential in stopping an increasingly frequent 
        drug user from becoming an addict. Whether voluntarily or 
        through legal or parental pressure, the sooner a drug user 
        enters into a well-designed treatment program, the more likely 
        such treatment is to be effective. Voluntary participation in 
        substance abuse programs is not necessary in order to 
        successfully treat a drug user.
    (c) Program Authorized.--The Secretary shall award competitive 
grants to treatment providers who administer treatment programs to 
enable such providers to establish adolescent residential substance 
abuse treatment programs that provide services for individuals who are 
between the ages of 14 and 21.
    (d) Preference.--In awarding grants under subsection (c), the 
Secretary shall consider the geographic location of each treatment 
provider and give preference to such treatment providers that are 
geographically located in such a manner as to provide services to 
addicts from non-metropolitan areas.
    (e) Duration of Grants.--For awards made under subsection (c), the 
period during which payments are made may not exceed 5 years.
    (f) Restrictions.--A treatment provider receiving a grant under 
subsection (c) shall not use any amount of the grant under this section 
for land acquisition or a construction project.
    (g) Construction.--Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to 
preclude qualifying faith-based treatment providers from receiving a 
grant under subsection (c).
    (h) Application.--A treatment provider that desires a grant under 
subsection (c) shall submit an application to the Secretary at such 
time, in such manner, and containing such information as the Secretary 
may require.
    (i) Use of Funds.--A treatment provider that receives a grant under 
subsection (c) shall use funds received under such grant to provide 
substance abuse services for adolescents, including--
            (1) a thorough psychosocial assessment;
            (2) individual treatment planning;
            (3) a strong education component integral to the treatment 
        regimen;
            (4) life skills training;
            (5) individual and group counseling;
            (6) family services;
            (7) daily work responsibilities; and
            (8) community-based aftercare, providing 6 months of 
        treatment following discharge from a residential facility.
    (j) Treatment Type.--The Therapeutic Community model shall be used 
as a basis for all adolescent residential substance abuse treatment 
programs established under this section, which shall be characterized 
by--
            (1) the self-help dynamic, requiring youth to participate 
        actively in their own treatment;
            (2) the role of mutual support and the therapeutic 
        importance of the peer therapy group;
            (3) a strong focus on family involvement and family 
        strengthening;
            (4) a clearly articulated value system emphasizing both 
        individual responsibility and responsibility for the community; 
        and
            (5) an emphasis on development of positive social skills.
    (k) Report by Provider.--Not later than 1 year after receiving a 
grant under this section, and annually thereafter, a treatment provider 
shall prepare and submit to the Secretary a report describing the 
services provided pursuant to this section.
    (l) Report by Secretary.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 3 months after receiving 
        all reports by providers under subsection (k), and annually 
        thereafter, the Secretary shall prepare and submit a report 
        containing information described in paragraph (2) to--
                    (A) the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and 
                Pensions of the Senate;
                    (B) the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate;
                    (C) the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics 
                Control;
                    (D) the Committee on Commerce of the House of 
                Representatives;

                    (F) the Committee on Government Reform of the House 
                of Representatives.
            (2) Content.--The report described in paragraph (1) shall--
                    (A) outline the services provided by providers 
                pursuant to this section;
                    (B) evaluate the effectiveness of such services;
                    (C) identify the geographic distribution of all 
                treatment centers provided pursuant to this section, 
                and evaluate the accessibility of such centers for 
                addicts from rural areas and small towns; and
                    (D) make recommendations to improve the programs

                    (A) employs a treatment methodology;
                    (B) relies on self-help methods and group process,

SEC. 7. RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAM IN FEDERAL PRISONS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In April 2000, there were over 140,000 inmates in the 
        Federal prison system.
            (2) In April 2000, nearly 30 percent of Federal inmates 
        were serving sentences ranging between 5 and 10 years, and just 
        over 58 percent of such inmates, or 61,547 persons, were 
        serving time for a drug related offense.
            (3) A March 2000 report by the Office of National Drug 
        Control Policy reported that in 1999 illicit drug users--
                    (A) were 16 times more likely than non-users to be 
                arrested and booked for larceny or theft;
                    (B) were more than 14 times more likely to be 
                arrested and booked for driving under the influence, 
                drunkenness, and liquor law violations; and
                    (C) were more than 9 times more likely to be 
                arrested and booked for assault.
            (4) According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's

              PERFORM DRUG INTERDICTION OR COUNTER-DRUG ACTIVITIES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings regarding 
members of the National Guard who participate in drug interdiction and 
counter-drug activities of the National Guard:
            (1) Such members have significantly higher rates of 
        attendance at inactive duty training and annual training than 
        members of the National Guard who do not participate in such 
        activities.
            (2) Such members attend significantly more military 
        training than members of the National Guard who do not 
        participate in such activities, thereby putting such members at 
        a higher state of military readiness.
            (3) Such members attend significantly more non-military 
        training designed to enhance support of law enforcement and 
        community-based agencies than members of the National Guard who 
        do not participate in such activities.
            (4) Such members are above-average soldiers and airmen who 
        maintain a high level of individual combat readiness.
            (5) This high level of individual combat readiness has a 
        positive effect on individual combat readiness in the National 
        Guard as a whole and contributes to the success of unit 
        training and evaluations and unit readiness.
            (6) Such members evoke positive comments regarding their 
        qualifications and performance in the National Guard.
    (b) Minimum Number of Members on Duty.--Section 112(f) of title 32, 
United States Code, is amended--
            (1) by striking ``End Strength Limitation.--(1) Except as 
        provided in paragraph (2), at the end of a fiscal year there 
        may not be more than 4000 members'' and inserting ``Minimum 
        Number of Members on Duty Performing Activities.--At the end of 
        a fiscal year there may not be less than 4,000 members'';
            (2) by striking paragraph (2); and
            (3) by redesignating subparagraph (A) and (B) as paragraphs 
        (1) and (2), respectively.
    (c) Applicability.--The amendments made by subsection (b) shall 
take effect on October 1, 2001, and shall apply with respect to fiscal 
years ending after that date.
