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 SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Treatment discretionary grant opportunity from FY 2010 aimed at expanding substance use treatment for adolescents in geographic areas where there is an unmet need. The central idea is to fund programs that do not just treat the adolescent in isolation, but that actively involve families or primary caregivers as a core part of treatment. The grant is built around the view that adolescent substance use is shaped by a young person's environment (home, peers, school, and community), and that treatment is more likely to stick when the family system is engaged and the youth is supported in real-world settings.
A key requirement of the program is that grantees implement a specific evidence-based model: the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA) combined with Assertive Continuing Care (ACC). In practice, that means applicants are not being asked to invent a new approach or propose any model they prefer. They are expected to deliver a structured, proven intervention that helps adolescents reduce substance use by building positive supports, improving coping and problem-solving skills, and increasing engagement in healthy, rewarding activities, while also ensuring continuity of care after the initial treatment phase through assertive follow-up and ongoing support. The "family centered and community based" emphasis is not optional; families and primary caregivers are expected to be integrated into the treatment process because their participation is associated with better treatment outcomes and smoother reintegration for adolescents once formal treatment ends.
To make sure the evidence-based approach is delivered as intended, SAMHSA ties the funding to training and fidelity expectations. Grantees receive initial training on the A-CRA/ACC model and then ongoing coaching and support while clinicians and supervisors work toward certification. All grantees are required to become certified in the A-CRA/ACC model, and SAMHSA provides training, certification, and support for a designated number of staff at no additional cost to the grantee, which is meant to remove a common barrier to adopting evidence-based practices (the expense and difficulty of building internal expertise). This structure signals that SAMHSA is prioritizing consistent, high-quality implementation over loosely defined programming.
The opportunity also highlights a specific population concern tied to military service. With large numbers of service members deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, SAMHSA notes that returning veterans may face elevated risk for post-traumatic stress and related conditions, and that many will need mental health and/or substance use treatment services. Because family stress and adjustment challenges can affect adolescents as well, SAMHSA strongly encourages applicants to account for the needs of adolescents in military families and families of returning veterans when designing their projects, even though the grant itself is focused on adolescent substance use treatment generally.
As a SAMHSA services grant, the program is intended to produce rapid, practical service delivery rather than long planning timelines. Funded sites are expected to begin delivering services as soon as possible after award, with service delivery beginning 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 is aligned with Healthy People 2010, Focus Area 26 (Substance Abuse), underscoring its connection to national public health goals.
In terms of funding and logistics, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number TI-10-002; CFDA 93.243) anticipated about 35 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $10,575,000 and an award ceiling of $300,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The application window listed a posted date of March 2, 2010, and a closing date of April 23, 2010, with an archive date of May 23, 2010.
Eligibility is limited to domestic public and private nonprofit entities. Examples explicitly include state and local governments, federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native Tribes and tribal organizations, urban Indian organizations, public or private colleges and universities, and community- and faith-based organizations. For-profit entities are prohibited by the program's statutory authority. State applicants have an additional constraint: they must propose implementation at a single site within the state and must have that site selected at the time of application, which pushes applicants to show they are ready to operate rather than still deciding where the program will run. Applicants must also complete and sign the A-CRA/ACC and GAIN Statement of Assurance and include it as a required attachment; failure to include this assurance results in the application being screened out before review, making it a hard compliance gate rather than a preference.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a targeted implementation program: it funds ready-to-launch adolescent substance use treatment services in underserved areas, mandates use of a specific evidence-based treatment and continuing-care model (A-CRA/ACC), requires certification to protect fidelity, and elevates family involvement as a primary mechanism for improving adolescent recovery and long-term community reintegration.
