ISSUE BRIEFING — The Role of treatment Programs in Planning Healthy Communities  —  Solutions for treatment Expansion Project (STEP) — June, 2003 — This issue briefing highlights the conditional use permit process (CUP, sometimes known as multiple use permit) as a key element in the expansion of treatment, since any residential program proposing more than six beds is required bylaw to obtain a CUP by the local governing authority. California State licensing requirements for residential alcohol and drug treatment programs also require a CUP.
