The Cooperative Agreements for Adolescent and Transitional Aged Youth Treatment Implementation program provides funding to states, territories, or tribes to increase access to and improve treatment for adolescents and/or transitional aged youth with substance use disorders and/or co-occurring substance use and mental disorders. Programs are intended to bring together stakeholders in order to strengthen an existing network that will enhance or expand treatment services, develop policies, expand workforce capacity, disseminate evidence-based practices, and otherwise improve integration and efficiency of substance use disorder treatment.

Based on need, applicants may choose to provide services to adolescents (ages 12-18) and their families/primary caregivers, transitional aged youth (ages 16-25) and their families/primary caregivers, or both these populations and their families/primary caregivers.

This program is a combination of infrastructure improvement and direct treatment service delivery. The expected client outcomes include:

• Increased rates of abstinence
• Enrollment in education
• Vocational training and/or employment
• Social connectedness
• Decreased juvenile justice involvement

Grantees will be expected to identify and reduce differences in access, service use, and outcomes of services among the adolescent and transitional aged youth populations who are vulnerable to health disparities.

Eligible applicants are state governments and federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribes and tribal organizations.

Award Ceiling: $800,000
Expected Number of Awards: 12
Project Period: Up to 4 years
Total Program Funding: $9,600,000
