- The Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Adminis. in the health sector is offering a public funding opportunity titled "Grants to Expand Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity for Adult Drug Courts" and is now available to receive applicants.
- Interested and eligible applicants and submit their applications by referencing the CFDA number(s): 93.243 Substance Abuse and Mental Health ServicesProjects of Regional and National Significance.
- This funding opportunity was created on Jan 12, 2010 and posted on Jan 12, 2010.
- Applicants must submit their applications by Mar 16, 2010. (Agency may still review applications by suitable applicants for the remaining/unused allocated funding in 2026.)
- The funding agency has allocated a total of $2,500,000.00 to eligible and selected applicants.
- Each selected applicant is eligible to receive up to $325,000.00 in funding.
- The number of recipients for this funding is limited to 8 candidate(s).
- Eligible applicants include: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification).
- SAMHSA/CSAT is restricting eligibility to existing individual misdemeanor or felony Adult Treatment Drug Courts or their Tribal/State or local governmental proxies who may apply on their behalf. Therefore, in addition to direct application by an individual misdemeanor or felony Adult Treatment Drug Court, units of Tribal/State/local government such as the Tribal Court Administrator, the Administrative Office of the Courts, the Single State Agency for Alcohol and Drug Abuse, the designated State Drug Court Coordinator, or local governmental unit such as county or city agency with direct involvement with the drug court may apply on behalf of an individual adult treatment drug court. When the Tribal/State, County or local government is the applicant, all grant funds awarded must be dedicated to the individual drug court with the exception of a small set aside, not to exceed two percent of the total award, that is permissible to cover the cost of administration and oversight of the grant. Adult Treatment Drug Court (ATDC) grantees that received funding in FY 2008 and/or FY 2009 from SAMHSA/CSAT are ineligible to apply. Entities which are applying on behalf of an individual adult treatment drug court must apply for ATDC s that are not currently receiving SAMHSA/CSAT funds. This grant is NOT intended for Family Treatment Drug Courts/Family Dependency Drug Courts or Proposition 36 Courts. Eligible adult treatment drug courts must have demonstrated relationships and agreements with existing community based substance abuse treatment providers in order to create the necessary networks to successfully implement these grants. Public and private nonprofit organizations such as substance abuse treatment providers have a pivotal supporting role in treatment drug court programs and may be sub recipients/contractors to the applicant. However, they are not the catalysts for entry into drug court and are therefore restricted from applying. In those cases where a Tribe/State/local unit of government (city/county) applies on behalf of a drug court, the Tribe/State/local governmental unit will be the award recipient and the entity responsible for satisfying the grant requirements. Although funding is intended for individual drug courts, SAMHSA recognizes the scarcity of treatment resources in some rural communities. Therefore, it is allowable for contiguous rural counties in one State to apply as a multi county partnership to serve more than one drug court within the identified counties. However, in such situations, one county unit of government must assume the role of lead applicant, which will oversee and administer the grant for the multiple jurisdictions. This grant program is not intended to provide start up funds to create new adult treatment drug courts. Applicant drug courts must be operational for at least one year at the time of application. Operational is defined as a judge being designated as a drug court judge with a drug court docket of cases and seeing defendants in drug court on a regular and recurring basis for at least one year prior to the submission of the grant application. By signing the cover page (SF 424 v2) of the application, the authorized representative of the applicant organization is certifying that the Adult Treatment Drug Court applying for funds is operational, as defined above, for at least one year at the time of application... See RFA for complete program details.

Opportunity Summary:
This FY 2010 grant opportunity, run by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) through the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), is aimed at strengthening existing Adult Treatment Drug Courts by expanding and/or enhancing the substance abuse treatment services available to adult defendants and offenders. The core idea is to use the treatment drug court model, which combines close judicial supervision with treatment and recovery supports, to reduce repeated criminal behavior tied to alcohol and drug use. Funded activities are meant to include direct alcohol and drug treatment as well as related supports such as screening and assessment, case management, recovery support services connected to treatment, and the program coordination needed to keep multiple systems working together. A major expectation is that applicants will use funds strategically to fill gaps in their local continuum of care, meaning the money should be directed where treatment capacity is weak rather than simply duplicating services that already exist.
The program reflects a broader concern about the mismatch between treatment need and treatment access, including among people involved in the justice system. The announcement cites national estimates showing that while tens of millions need treatment for alcohol or illicit drug use problems, only a small fraction receive specialty treatment, and similar shortfalls exist for justice-involved populations. By boosting treatment availability inside the drug court framework, the grant is intended to lower public health and social costs, reduce substance use-related crime and violence, and improve community safety. Operationally, grantees are expected to implement a coordinated, multi-system approach that blends the court’s sanctioning authority (including incentives and sanctions) with evidence-informed treatment services. A defining feature of the model is regular client appearances before a judge as part of an ongoing monitoring and accountability process guided by a team of relevant professionals.
CSAT also highlights coordination with the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). Alongside this CSAT solicitation, BJA offered related FY 2010 drug court funding, including a joint initiative that allows applicants to submit one comprehensive plan to compete for both criminal justice and substance abuse treatment dollars through a single application. BJA also maintained a separate stand-alone Adult Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program focused on integrated drug court components such as mandatory drug testing, incentives and sanctions, transitional services, and judicial oversight for nonviolent, substance-abusing offenders. Applicants are allowed to apply to multiple drug court solicitations at the same time, but CSAT and BJA will not make more than one award for the same proposed services within a program, so proposals need to avoid double-funding the same activities.
Funding details for this specific CSAT opportunity include an estimated total of $2,500,000 with an expected 8 awards. The maximum award (ceiling) is $325,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.243 (SAMHSA Projects of Regional and National Significance). Key dates include a posted date of January 12, 2010, and an application deadline of March 16, 2010 (with an archive date of April 15, 2010). The funding instrument is a discretionary grant, and the activity category is health.
Eligibility is intentionally narrow and is limited to existing, individual misdemeanor or felony Adult Treatment Drug Courts (or certain governmental entities applying on their behalf). Eligible applicants can include tribal, state, or local government units closely tied to the drug court, such as a Tribal Court Administrator, an Administrative Office of the Courts, a Single State Agency for Alcohol and Drug Abuse, a designated State Drug Court Coordinator, or a county/city agency directly involved with the drug court. When a governmental unit applies on behalf of a specific drug court, essentially all awarded funds must be dedicated to that individual drug court, with only a small administrative set-aside allowed, capped at 2 percent of the total award, for grant administration and oversight. The grant is not intended to start new adult drug courts; applicant drug courts must already be operational for at least one year. In this context, “operational†is defined in a concrete way: a designated drug court judge must have a drug court docket and must have been seeing defendants in drug court on a regular, recurring basis for at least one year before the application is submitted.
There are also explicit exclusions. Adult Treatment Drug Court grantees that received SAMHSA/CSAT funding in FY 2008 and/or FY 2009 are not eligible to apply, and entities applying on behalf of a drug court must target courts that are not currently receiving CSAT funds. The solicitation also makes clear the program is not meant for Family Treatment Drug Courts/Family Dependency Drug Courts or Proposition 36 Courts. While substance abuse treatment providers and other public or private nonprofit organizations are recognized as important partners and can participate as subrecipients or contractors, they cannot apply as the main applicant because they are not the entity that controls entry into the drug court process.
Finally, SAMHSA acknowledges that rural areas may have limited treatment resources and allows some flexibility for multi-county approaches. Contiguous rural counties within a state may apply as a partnership to serve more than one drug court, as long as one county governmental unit acts as the lead applicant and takes responsibility for administering the grant across jurisdictions.
