The city government of Dallas, TX, accepts that it has a number of significant problems with drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Of particular concern is the easy accessibility to drugs and alcohol for teens and young people, as well as an increase in heroin abuse. In response to this, the Mental Health and Substance Abuse Division of the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) has created a program by which those who offer treatment services for patients with mental health issues and/or substance abuse problems, can receive funding.

The DSHS Approach

The DSHS has made it very easy for people to have access to Outreach, Screening, Assessment and Referral (OSAR) centers. These are for people who need information about drug and alcohol treatment, whether it is for themselves or for someone they care about. Upon contacting an OSAR center, they can immediately receive the help they require, in a confidential way, and the centers are available 24/7. During the call, addicted people will also be encouraged to get the treatment they require, by signposting or referring them to the services that are available, including detox and treatment, essentially providing an intervention.

A particular issue in Dallas is that many treatment centers have long waiting lists. Hence, the DSHS has put in place a requirement for centers to prioritize those who are asking for admission. A number of "priority populations" have been identified, which is in line with the Block Grant federal regulations. These population groups, in order of priority, are:

  1. Women who are pregnant, suffer from a substance abuse disorder, and inject their substance.
  2. Women who are pregnant and suffer from a substance abuse disorder.
  3. People of any gender who suffer from a substance abuse disorder, and inject their substance.
  4. People of any gender who suffer from a substance abuse disorder, and who have been put forward for treatment by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS).

Helping People to Find Services

Besides ensuring that treatment centers operate on a priority population basis, the DSHS has also ensured that people are educated on the resources available to them for treatment. As such, people are encouraged to:

  1. Dial 9-1-1 if they face a medical emergency in relation to drug or alcohol abuse.
  2. Contact their nearest OSAR center if they are looking for detox, rehab, or other treatment services in their geographical area. Through the OSAR center, they can be referred to the best treatment services for their individual needs.
  3. Look online for the various substance abuse programs that exist in and around Dallas. However, it is not possible to actually access any of these services without contacting an OSAR center first.

Concerns About Children and Adolescents

As stated, of particular concern is the high levels of drug use and abuse among children and adolescents in Dallas. Hence, the OSAR centers are also available for parents who have concerns about their children. These parents may be trained in staging an intervention and understanding what services are available. There are also a number of services that have been designed specifically for young people in Dallas.
