$2.7 Million is Available for Grants to Expand Substance Abuse Treatment in Adult Criminal Justice Populations

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is accepting applications for Fiscal Year 2008 Adult Criminal Justice Treatment grants.  This program is designed to address gaps in substance abuse treatment services for adults involved with the criminal justice system.  Grant funds will be used to expand and or/enhance the community’s ability to provide a comprehensive, integrated, and community-based response to a targeted, well-documented substance abuse treatment capacity problem.  The program is also designed to improve the quality and intensity of services provided for the target population. 

 

SAMHSA expects that up to $2.7 million will be available for up to seven grants over the next three years.  The actual award amount may vary, depending on the availability of funds.  The grants will be awarded by SAMHSA’s Center for Substance Abuse Treatment. 

WHO CAN APPLY: Eligible applicants are domestic public and private nonprofit entities.  Treatment drug courts are not eligible to apply, nor will treatment drug courts be funded under this announcement.  SAMHSA/CSAT offers funding for grants specific to treatment drug courts under a separate announcement.  See Section III-1 of the RFA for complete information.
