This program (Short Title: Family Treatment Drug Courts) provides grants to enhance and expand substance use disorder treatment services in existing family treatment drug courts, that use the family treatment drug court model in order to provide alcohol and drug treatment for parents with a substance use disorder and/or co-occurring substance use disorder and mental disorders who have had a dependency petition filed against them or are at risk of such filing. Services must address the needs of the family as a whole and include direct service provision to children of individuals served by the project.
Required activities include:
- Providing outreach and other engagement strategies to increase participation in, and access to, treatment services for parents and their children
- Providing direct treatment including screening, assessment, program coordination, and case management services for diverse populations at risk
- Collaborating with community partners to provide comprehensive services for children that have been affected by prenatal and postnatal exposure to substance use and trauma that could result in deficits, delays, and concerns of a neurological, physical, social-emotional, behavioral, or cognitive nature
- Providing strategies to strengthen parent child bonding, such as home visits, supervised visits, and family counseling
- Providing wrap-around recovery support services designed to improve access and retention
- Coordinating with child welfare agencies for case management, safety planning, reunification, and sharing information across systems
Eligible applicants include:
