(Sec. 105) Requires a project to integrate program services into a single, comprehensive program using an automated clinical information system. Permits funds to be used for the information system.

(Sec. 109) Requires the Secretary to cooperate with the Secretaries of Labor, the Interior, Education, Housing and Urban Development, and Transportation, and the Attorney General who shall enter into an interdepartmental memorandum of agreement for the implementation of approved plans.

Makes the Indian Health Service the coordinating agency (rather than the Bureau of Indian Affairs).

(Sec. 110) Prohibits the reduction of Federal funds available to an Indian tribe involved in any project under this title as a result of the enactment of this title.

(Sec. 114) Requires the Secretary of HHS to report to the appropriate congressional committees on the program and any statutory barriers to services integration.

(Sec. 115) Makes any State with an alcohol and substance abuse or mental health program targeted to Indian tribes eligible to receive no-cost Federal personnel assignments if it would help the program's success.
