Over the next five years, Iniciativa Comunitaria de Investigacion (ICI) Project Turning Point will expand and enhance its capacity to provide outreach, pretreatment (including rapid testing) and residential 10-day substance abuse treatment in conjunction with HIV/AIDS services to Puerto Rican high-risk substance abusers, their sex partners and substance/abusing people living with HIV/AIDS. 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. (LCS), a current TCE/HIV grantee with a good track record of effective residential substance abuse treatment services to hard-core, chronic, multiple drug users, and people at high- risk and/or living with HIV/AIDS. 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.
