The Universidad Central del Caribe and its School of Medicine propose an Addiction Technology Transfer Center to serve Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The application aims to continue addressing the training needs of the Region's drug treatment workforce and help sister ATTCs address the needs of the workforce treating Hispanic drug users in the U.S. mainland through the proposed "Hispanic Center of Excellence." The target population of the Region (Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) is expected to be comprised by counselors (26%), social workers (18%), psychologists (10%), managers/directors (9%), physicians (8%), government officials (5%), clinical supervisors (5%) and nurses (4%), among other professions (15%). The application addresses all the goals and activities suggested in the RFA emphasizing local and national collaborations to prevent duplication of efforts and resources. In addition, emphasis is provided to help organizations adapt new treatment models such as the recovery management model; train supervisors and administrators in clinical supervision; address providers' compassion and work fatigue; and enhance the Center's curriculum with new science-based information, treatment programs, pharmacotherapy, and culturally appropriate products.

Specifically, high-risk substance abusing heterosexual men and women and men who have sex with men who inject drugs, will be targeted. For Project Turning Point, ICI will team up with its fellow non-profit community-based organization Lucha Contra El SIDA, Inc.

Through the resources provided by the TCE/HIV Program, ICI's Project Turning Point will meet the following essential goals: 1) expand current substance abuse treatment services to no less than 70 new eligible (substance abusers who are high-risk and/or living with HIV/AIDS) individuals annually throughout the 5-year period, for a total of at least 350 new participants over the five-year period; and 2) expand current outreach and pretreatment (including rapid testing) services to no less than 350 new eligible (substance abusers who are high-risk and/or living with HIV/AIDS) individuals annually throughout the 5-year period, for a total of at least 1,750 new participants over the five-year period.
