Summary

States that get these grants must require drug treatment programs for people who inject drugs to tell the state when they are 90% full. The state must also make sure anyone who asks for needed treatment is admitted to a program within 14 days. If no program has space right away, the person must be admitted within 120 days only if they are given interim services within 48 hours of their request. States must also require any group receiving grant money to run activities that encourage people who inject drugs to get treatment.
