This program provides grants and technical assistance to enhance the operations of adult treatment courts (ATCs). Courts should integrate evidence-based substance use treatment, mandatory drug testing, sanctions and incentives, offender management, and aftercare services in judicially-supervised court settings with jurisdiction over offenders to reduce recidivism, increase access to treatment and recovery support, and prevent overdoses.
Grants will be awarded in 3 categories:
- Category 1: Planning and Implementation Grants

Goal 1: Access to evidence-based
treatment and recovery support services

ATC success rates
