Access to Recovery
According to the latest National Survey on Drug Use and Health, over 20 million people need but do not receive treatment for illicit drug or alcohol use. To help close this treatment gap, the Federal government implemented an ambitious program to increase the availability of treatment services in the United States and help free drug addicts from addiction.
Launched in 2003, the Access to Recovery (ATR) program provides vouchers for treatment services as well as recovery support services. The goals of ATR are to expand capacity, support client choice, and increase the array of faith-based and community-based providers for clinical treatment and recovery services. In doing so, clients can choose a treatment program best suited to meet their unique needs. More
