The SAPT Block Grant is a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to individual states.  Funding amounts for each state is calculated using a predetermined formula.  Population plays a significant role in these calculation. 

The funding amount received by Oklahoma in FFY 2006 was $17,649,089. 

Block grant funds are spent for substance abuse prevention and treatment programs, and support treatment and prevention services for many Oklahomans that would otherwise be unable to access appropriate care. 

Approximately 75 percent of the funding provides substance abuse treatment, while 20 percent is set-aside for prevention programs.  The remaining 5 percent pays for administrative services including such items as:  financial tracking of the funds; reporting of services through the Department’s Integrated Client Information System (ICIS) database; development of outcomes to ensure services are helping the clients move toward full recovery; and training for prevention and treatment providers.
