Opportunity Summary:
The Family Centered Substance Abuse Treatment Grants for Adolescents and their Families (also referred to as Assertive Adolescent and Family Treatment) is a FY 2009 discretionary grant opportunity from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment. The program is built to expand and strengthen substance use treatment services for adolescents and older transition-age youth by pairing direct clinical services with structured family and community engagement. The core idea is that adolescent substance use does not happen in isolation, so treatment should be designed around the young person, their home life, and the environments they move through each day, including school, peers, and community settings.
A defining feature of this opportunity is the required use of an evidence-based treatment model: the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA) combined with Assertive Continuing Care (ACC). Applicants are expected to implement this model in a context-specific, community-based, and family-centered way, focusing on the interactions between youth and the people and systems around them. The grant explicitly encourages involving families or primary caregivers as a routine part of treatment, and it also allows inclusion of other supportive adults when appropriate, such as significant others, mentors, or other trusted caregivers. The intention is to improve engagement, treatment outcomes, and long-term reintegration into the community after formal treatment ends, recognizing that consistent support and follow-up are often the difference between short-term gains and lasting recovery.
SAMHSA places heavy emphasis on fidelity to the A-CRA/ACC model. To make that feasible, grantees receive initial training and ongoing coaching and technical support during the certification process for clinicians and supervisors. Certification in A-CRA/ACC is mandatory for all grantees, and SAMHSA will provide training, certification, and implementation support for a designated number of staff at no additional cost to the grantee. This requirement signals that SAMHSA is not simply funding general adolescent treatment capacity, but is specifically trying to advance the field by scaling a standardized, research-supported approach and ensuring it is delivered as intended.
The grant is part of SAMHSA's broader "services grant" portfolio, which is aimed at filling gaps in prevention and treatment systems and improving the ability of public entities, tribes, and community organizations to respond to serious or emerging substance use problems in specific populations or geographic areas. Another operational expectation is speed: SAMHSA intends that awardees begin delivering services quickly, with service delivery starting no later than the fourth month of the project. The program is authorized under Section 509 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, and it aligns with Healthy People 2010 focus area 26 related to substance abuse.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number TI-09-002 under CFDA 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services - Projects of Regional and National Significance). SAMHSA anticipated making 13 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $3.8 million, and an award ceiling of $300,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can make the program more accessible for organizations that do not have large unrestricted funds.
Eligibility is limited to domestic public and private nonprofit entities. Examples listed include state and local governments, federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribes and tribal organizations, urban Indian organizations, public or private universities and colleges, and community- and faith-based organizations. For-profit agencies are prohibited by statute from receiving these funds. State applicants face an additional constraint: they must propose a project at a single site within the state and must have that site selected at the time of application. The application process also includes a firm compliance checkpoint: applicants must complete and sign the A-CRA/ACC and GAIN Statement of Assurance and include it in the required appendix; failure to include the signed assurance results in the application being screened out and not reviewed for funding.
Key dates for the FY 2009 cycle included a posted date of March 5, 2009 and an application closing date of April 24, 2009 (with the archive date listed as May 24, 2009). For applicant support or issues accessing the announcement, the listed contact was Kathleen Sample in SAMHSA's Division of Grants Management in Rockville, Maryland, with a phone number and email provided in the notice.
