Grants to Expand Substance Use Disorder Treatment Capacity in Adult and Family Treatment Drug Courts

The program aims to enhance substance use disorder treatment and recovery support services within existing adult and family treatment drug courts by fostering a coordinated, multisystem approach that merges the authority of the courts with evidence-based clinical interventions. Participating stakeholders include the judiciary, prosecutors, defense attorneys, probation, law enforcement, mental health providers, social service agencies, and treatment facilities, all working together to address the root causes of criminal behavior linked to substance abuse. The goal is to break the cycle of addiction, incarceration, and legal reoffending by integrating judicial oversight with comprehensive, community-based care. Funding is being offered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to support this expansion, with a forecasted posting date of March 20, 2026. Applicants must demonstrate the capacity to implement a unified strategy that improves access to treatment and strengthens collaboration across systems. Inquiries and communications regarding the grant should be directed to Amy Romero at treatmentdrugcourts@samhsa.hhs.gov or by phone at 240-276-0736. The opportunity is open to eligible organizations prepared to execute a data-driven, multidisciplinary model that reduces recidivism and promotes long-term recovery outcomes.
