This program (Short Title: SAMHSA Treatment Drug Courts) provides grants to enhance and expand substance use disorder treatment services in existing drug courts, recognizing the need for treatment instead of incarceration for individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs).

Projects should have a coordinated, multi-system approach designed to combine treatment drug courts with effective SUD treatment services to break the cycle of criminal behavior, alcohol and/or drug use, and incarceration or other penalties. Family drug court applicants will be expected to do the same with an added focus on family preservation and promoting the wellness of the family.

A detailed list of required activities is provided in the application instructions.

Eligible applicants include:

• State, local, and territorial governments
• Federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribes, tribal organizations, and consortia of tribes or tribal organizations
• Health facilities, or programs operated by or in accordance with a contract or award with the Indian Health Service
• Community-based and faith-based organizations

Award ceiling: $400,000 per year
Expected number of awards: 61
Project Period: Up to 5 years
Estimated total program funding: $24,400,000

At least 3 awards will be made to tribes or tribal organizations pending sufficient application volume.
