New Grants Available Through The Substance Abuse And Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA)

$5.2 Million Available for Adolescent and Family Substance Abuse Treatment Grants

SAMHSA announced the availability of FY 2006 funds for grants to provide services to adolescents with substance problems, along with their families.  SAMHSA expects grantees to utilize proven effective treatment protocols that include families as integral parts of the treatment process.   These protocols include the Assertive Community Reinforcement Approach coupled with Assertive Continuing Care.

The Assertive Community Reinforcement Approach is composed of sessions with the adolescent and one or more caregivers, individually and jointly.  Therapists teach adolescents and family members how to find and use reinforcement for staying substance free.  Assertive Continuing Care addresses the need for continuing care, the role of motivation in shaping behavior, and the development of cognitive skills in order for the adolescent to remain free of substances.

The amount of $5.2 million is expected to be available to fund up to 17 awards in FY 2006.  Annual awards are expected to be approximately $300,000 per year in total costs for up to three years.  The grants will be awarded by SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment.

WHO CAN APPLY:  Domestic, public, and private nonprofit entities, such as:  state and local governments; federally recognized tribes; state recognized tribes; urban Indian organizations; public or private universities and colleges; community, faith-based, and tribal organizations.
