The history of publicly-funded substance abuse treat ment in the US is long and varied. Treatment policy and financing have roots in pre-prohibition America, with threads running through prohibition (1920-1933), and with the first (federal) US Public Health hospital for narcotic addicts opening in Lexington, Kentucky in 1935. One of the earliest proponents of community-based substance abuse treatment systems was Marty Mann who, in concert with the National Committee on Education on Alcoholism, described both the concept and the components of local ized treatment systems (Mann, 1944). The subsequent development and expansion of specific treatment ap proaches (notably methadone treatment for narcotics addiction and therapeutic communities) galvanized efforts to bring substance abuse treatment into more communities across the country. To accomplish this, the Cooperative Commission on the Study of Alcoholism introduced the idea of federal-state-local partnership to provide addiction treatment (Plaut 1967); this partnership became the bed rock on which current community-based treatment systems were built. A series of federal funding initiatives supported the development of community-based treatment systems and, in 197 1, the Nixon Administration squarely involved the federal government through the creation of the Special Action Office of Drug Abuse Prevention (SAODAP). tThis work was supported by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (grants U95-TI00669 and U95-TJ00662), and by the National Institute on Drug Abuse San Francisco Treatment Research Center (grant PSO DA09253).
