On September 29, 2010, the Department of Alcohol
and Drug Programs (ADP) was awarded funds from the
federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) for a third Access to Recovery
(ATR) grant.
ATR is an initiative to allow people in need of substance
abuse services to make individual choices in their
path to recovery that reflect their personal needs
and values. The California Access to Recovery Effort
(CARE) program is California’s implementation
of the federal ATR grant.
This new award (CARE 3) will provide approximately
$2.6 million per year for four years for substance
abuse services for youth and young service members/veterans
in five target counties (Butte, Los Angeles, Sacramento,
Shasta, and Tehama). The program will help address
the unmet needs, service gaps, barriers, and disparities
that youth and young service members and veterans
face in accessing adequate, quality substance abuse
services.
