Grants to Expand Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity in Adult Treatment Drug Courts and Adult Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts (Short Title: SAMHSA Treatment Drug Courts) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The FY 2016 SAMHSA Treatment Drug Courts grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number TI 16 009) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), through its Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). The overall goal is to increase the capacity and quality of substance use disorder treatment services that are delivered through existing adult problem-solving courts that follow the treatment drug court model, including Adult Treatment Drug Courts as well as Adult Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts. In practical terms, SAMHSA is looking to fund programs that can serve justice-involved adults by pairing court oversight and accountability with clinically appropriate treatment and ongoing recovery supports.

The grant is specifically designed to expand and or enhance treatment-related services for defendants and offenders who participate in these court programs. Funded activities can include a range of treatment and support components such as screening and assessment, case management, recovery support services, and program coordination. The emphasis is not just on adding services, but on strengthening how services are organized and delivered so participants receive timely, appropriate care that fits their needs and helps them stay engaged. A key expectation is that grantees will build or improve a coordinated, multi-system approach, meaning the court, treatment providers, supervision partners, and other relevant systems work together in a structured way rather than operating in silos.

SAMHSA frames the core strategy as combining the sanctioning authority of the court with evidence-based substance use disorder treatment in order to interrupt repeated cycles of substance use, criminal behavior, and incarceration or other justice penalties. Applicants are expected to focus on the treatment drug court model and use the grant to improve outcomes for participants by ensuring access to effective treatment and supports that can sustain recovery. Within that approach, SAMHSA directs applicants to prioritize filling gaps across the continuum of care, especially where participants are currently falling through the cracks between levels of treatment or between treatment and recovery support.

The program also makes clear who must be served with these funds: grant-supported services must be directed to people who are diagnosed with a substance use disorder as their primary condition. Within that population, SAMHSA highlights the importance of addressing co-occurring substance use and mental disorders (often referred to as COD). That means programs should be prepared to identify and respond to participants who have both substance use and mental health treatment needs, while still ensuring the primary eligibility focus remains on substance use disorder treatment.

On funding and scale, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $325,000 and anticipates around 50 awards. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.243, and the application closing date for this cycle was April 4, 2016 (original and current closing dates match). SAMHSA notes that it will use discretion when allocating awards, taking into account the specific model type (Adult Treatment Drug Courts versus Adult Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts) and the number of applications received for each model. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement materials. Overall, this opportunity is aimed at strengthening treatment capacity inside established court-based intervention frameworks so that justice-involved adults with substance use disorders can access coordinated care that reduces relapse, reoffending, and repeated incarceration.
