Abstract
The Single State Authority — SSA — is an office, but, in reality, is actually a person. This person is in charge of the ongoing Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) block grant. There is one in every state. This person is also in charge of the STR and SOR grants for opioid use disorder treatment. For this story, we interviewed four longtime former SSAs about their lessons learned and their advice to new SSAs in a role that is in the spotlight both within state government and in the community, as billions of new dollars flow out to their systems. Each SSA is a member of the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors (NASADAD).
