Grants to Expand Substance Use Disorder Treatment Capacity in Adult and Family Treatment Drug Courts
Description
The purpose of this program is to expand substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery support services in existing drug courts. The program recognizes the need for treatment instead of incarceration for individuals with SUDs. Recipients are expected to provide prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery services for individuals with SUD involved with the courts. With this program, SAMHSA aims to improve abstinence from substance use, housing stability, employment status, social connectedness, health/behavioral/social consequences, and reduce criminal justice involvement. Eligible applicants include States and Territories, political subdivisions of States, drug courts, Indian tribes or tribal organizations, health facilities, or programs operated by or in accordance with a contract or award with the Indian Health Service, or other public or private nonprofit entities. Applications are due by April 1, 2024. The anticipated award amount is up to $400,000 per year for up to 5 years.
