 AB    With the recognition of HIV/AIDS as a major problem for injecting and
       non-injecting substance users, health care programs have a heightened
       interest in substance abuse treatment in the context of primary health
       care. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
       supports a number of collaborative projects that demonstrate models for
       the provision of substance abuse treatment in primary health care
       settings. This presentation will not focus on specific models, but
       rather highlight the problems associated with the development of these
       collaborative programs. The presentation will describe the planning
       process at the highest levels of governmental planning, followed by a
       description of the complex fiscal and administrative problems associated
       with program implementation. The discussion will detail key points to
       consider in determining the primary locus for health care delivery among
       injecting and non-injecting drug users, the special funding
       considerations in the development of such programs (such as long-term
       funding needs vs. acute care concerns), the competition among providers,
       and the model of maximum benefit to those diagnosed with AIDS.
