Opportunity Summary:
Access to Recovery (ATR) is a federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), administered by SAMHSA through the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), offering Fiscal Year 2010 funding to expand substance use disorder treatment and recovery support through a voucher-based model. The core idea is to let people who need help choose among multiple eligible providers, rather than being funneled into a single program. By funding a voucher system, ATR aims to broaden the range of available clinical treatment and recovery support services, increase overall treatment capacity, and make the system more responsive to individual needs and preferences. The program is tied to Healthy People 2010 Focus Area 26 (Substance Abuse), signaling its role in national public health goals.
A central feature of ATR is "client choice" and the requirement that choice be genuine, free, and independent. Grantees are expected to build and manage provider networks where clients can select from an array of services and settings, including faith-based program options alongside secular providers. The emphasis is not just on adding more services, but on creating a comprehensive menu of clinical treatment and recovery supports that can produce cost-effective, measurable improvements for as many participants as possible. In practice, this means states and tribes design voucher programs that fit their local conditions, while still aligning with proven approaches to voucher implementation and provider network management.
Accountability is a major theme throughout the opportunity. ATR places strong importance on monitoring outcomes, tracking costs, and actively preventing waste, fraud, and abuse. The grant expects grantees to demonstrate effective oversight of voucher expenditures, document service utilization, and measure performance. Past performance matters for applicants that have previously received ATR funds; prior grantees are reviewed not only on their proposals but also on whether they met GPRA-related client targets and used funds as planned in earlier budgets. Returning grantees are also expected to propose enhancements or expansions beyond what was previously funded, such as serving new geographic areas, different client populations, adding services, or improving other components of the model.
Eligibility is intentionally narrow because the program is designed to operate at a level where coordination and policy alignment are possible. Eligible applicants include Single State Substance Abuse Agencies (SSAs) in U.S. states, territories, and the District of Columbia, and federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribes or tribal organizations. The application must be signed by the SSA administrator or the tribe or tribal organization’s highest-ranking or duly authorized official, and after award that official cannot delegate responsibility for the grant to another person or entity. Only one ATR application per SSA or per tribe/tribal organization head can be funded. Both entities new to ATR and prior cohorts (including those funded in 2004 and 2007) are eligible, provided they meet the requirements and, for current grantees, propose an expansion or meaningful enhancement.
SAMHSA also flags a specific population concern relevant at the time: returning veterans from overseas contingency operations such as Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), along with their family members. The announcement notes that returning service members may face elevated risk for post-traumatic stress and related conditions, and that a significant share may need mental health and/or substance use treatment and supports. Applicants are strongly encouraged to incorporate the unique needs of returning veterans and their families into project planning, which could influence outreach, provider network composition, and the mix of clinical and recovery support services offered through vouchers.
In terms of funding details, this is a discretionary grant program in the health category (CFDA 93.243). SAMHSA anticipated around 30 awards with an estimated total funding level of $95.5 million. Individual awards could be up to $4,000,000, with no stated minimum award floor, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number TI-10-008) was posted January 4, 2010, with an application deadline of March 10, 2010, and an archive date of April 9, 2010. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was William Reyes at SAMHSA’s Division of Grants Management in Rockville, Maryland.
