VII. Conclusion

Substance abuse and mental illnesses exact an enormous toll on the health of the Nation. SAMHSA’s vision of a life in the community for everyone with or at risk of substance abuse disorders and mental illnesses depends on the achievement of SAMHSA’s mission of building resilience and facilitating recovery. The nation must ensure that effective and efficient substance abuse and mental health prevention and treatment services are available to Americans who need these services and cannot now obtain them.

SAMHSA’s strategic plan sets an ambitious agenda for the next six years toward the accomplishment of SAMHSA’s vision and mission. Goals and priority areas have been identified; key performance objectives have been set; and resources are focused on key programs and initiatives. Annual progress, in the form of performance targets and accomplishments, will continue to be reported in SAMHSA’s annual budget submission to Congress. Specific performance measures will be updated as the plan is revised every three years.

With a strategic plan, matrix area action plans, a management matrix, a data strategy, and management and program accountability tools in place, SAMHSA expects to realize and document major progress over the next five years.
