“The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is accepting applications for up to $76 million through its SAMHSA Treatment Drug Courts grant program. The money will be used to help drug courts break the cycle of criminal behavior and incarceration related to drug and alcohol use.
The purpose of the SAMHSA Treatment Drug Courts grant is to expand substance use disorder treatment services in existing adult problem solving courts and adult Tribal Healing to Wellness courts. These courts use the treatment drug court model to provide substance use disorder treatment.
SAMHSA expects to fund as many as 38 courts with up to $400,000 per year for five years. The actual awards may vary depending on the availability of funds.”
