Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2015 SAMHSA/CSAT grant opportunity titled "Grants to Expand Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity in Adult and Family Drug Courts (SAMHSA Treatment Drug Courts)" (Funding Opportunity Number TI 15 002) supports existing adult and family treatment drug courts that use the treatment drug court model. The central goal is to expand and/or strengthen substance use disorder (SUD) treatment capacity within these problem-solving courts so they can deliver more robust, coordinated treatment and recovery-oriented services to people involved in the criminal legal and/or family dependency court systems. SAMHSA frames the approach as a coordinated, multi-system strategy that combines the court's authority (supervision, incentives, and sanctions) with evidence-informed treatment and supportive services in order to reduce substance use, criminal behavior, incarceration and related penalties, and in the family court context, reduce child abuse and neglect while improving family stability.
Funding is intended to address concrete service and system gaps in the treatment continuum for drug court participants, especially individuals considered high risk and high need who are diagnosed with substance dependence/addiction and require immediate treatment. Applicants are expected to focus grant-funded services on people whose primary diagnosis is a substance use disorder. The grant allows programs to address co-occurring and co-morbid needs (including mental health conditions) when that spending remains consistent with the drug court model and the primary purpose of serving individuals with alcohol and/or other drug dependence. In practical terms, the opportunity emphasizes expanding treatment access and strengthening the set of supports around treatment, including screening, assessment, case management, recovery support services, and program coordination. For Family Treatment Drug Courts specifically, SAMHSA highlights family-focused services, with programming aimed not only at the parent(s) with SUDs (or SUDs with co-occurring mental health disorders) but also services that take into account the needs of their children who are involved in the dependency system due to abuse and neglect concerns.
Eligibility is broad but targeted to entities with direct involvement in operating or overseeing drug court functions. Eligible applicants include tribal, state, and local governmental entities connected to drug court operations (such as Tribal Court Administrators, Administrative Offices of the Courts, Single State Agencies for alcohol and drug abuse, designated State Drug Court Coordinators, and county or city agencies), federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribes and tribal organizations, and individual adult treatment drug courts and family dependency treatment drug courts. SAMHSA also clarifies which adult drug court models are acceptable under this announcement, including Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts, DWI/DUI Courts, Co-Occurring Drug and Mental Health Treatment Courts, Veterans Treatment Courts, and Municipal Drug Courts, as long as they adhere to the "10 key components" commonly associated with drug court practice. A key exclusion is that the grant is not intended for Juvenile Drug Courts; applications proposing juvenile drug court projects will be screened out and not reviewed.
The opportunity includes an operational readiness requirement: the drug court(s) supported by the application must be operational on or before September 1, 2015, meaning the court has an active docket (a set of cases) and is seeing clients/participants. The authorized representative certifies this requirement by signing the SF 424 cover page, effectively affirming that the court is already operating or will be operating by the stated deadline. SAMHSA also notes that it will use discretion in allocating awards, considering factors such as whether the application is for an adult or family treatment drug court model and the volume of applications received for each model type.
In terms of funding details, this is a discretionary grant program in the health funding category (CFDA 93.243: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance). SAMHSA anticipated about 35 awards, with an estimated total program funding amount of $11.3 million and an award ceiling of $325,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. Key dates for the announcement include a posted date of January 26, 2015, an original closing date of March 27, 2015, and a current closing date of April 10, 2015, with an archive date of April 26, 2015.
Finally, SAMHSA highlights a related, coordinated funding pathway with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). Through a joint initiative for adult drug courts titled "Enhancing Adult Drug Court Services, Coordination, and Treatment FY 2015 Competitive Grant Announcement," applicants could submit a single comprehensive strategy and compete for two separate grants (one from BJA and one from SAMHSA) using one application. For applicant questions or access issues, the announcement lists a grants management contact at SAMHSA (Eileen Bermudez, Division of Grants Management, Rockville, MD).
