Tips for Successful Follow Up for 6
Month GPRA Interview
Follow up begins at intake!
Inform the client about the impor-
tance of the GPRA data collection
requirement. Remind them that
they will receive a $20 incentive for
their participation.
Calendar and track the GPRA fol-
low up window (5-8 Months follow-
ing In-take) for each of your cli-
ents… so that you don’t miss it!
Collect and enter good contact/
locator information, confirm contact/
locator information at each encounter
with your client and always update
the information in the VMS.
Utilize the Care Coordination service
to assist with staying in contact with
your clients– Follow up will be that
much easier.
If you have GPRA questions or
to request more information

We started Year 3 with an award of $3,227,840. Of this amount, $2,532,450 is allocated for assessment and treatment services.
To ensure we adequately manage Year 3 funds and meet SAMHSA’s 50% resi-dential & 50% outpatient/RSS service allocation, we implemented a Residential Treatment criteria.
Since we did not reach our Year 2 client
intake goal of 2801. The difference of 1656 is carried over into Year 3. As a result, we are expected to reach 4090 new clients in Year 3. Our original Year 3 client intake goal was 2434.
2434 + 1656 = 4090
I encourage you to work with your local community organizations to increase referrals to your program.
Q: Do the Assessment
Vouchers costs (Client
Eligibility, Substance
Abuse Screening, & Loca-
tor Information; Sub-
stance Abuse Assessment
& Diagnosis; Substance
Abuse Treatment
Plan; Recovery Support
Eligibility & Locator
Form; and SBIRT
Voucher) affect the total
funding amount a client
can receive for treatment
services?
A: No. The Assessment
Voucher budget is separate
than the Treatment
Voucher budget. When we
determine the maximum
client treatment voucher
budget, their assessment
costs are not considered.
