BACKGROUND:
The Dual Diagnosis Program Specialist classification was created in 1999 to support the Dual Diagnosis program, which was a pilot program that was funded through a three-year grant from the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The program extended beyond the initial three-year period, however SAMHSA decreased the annual funding to an amount that would only cover a single Dual Diagnosis Program Specialist position.
