Indiana Access to Recovery (ATR)
Indiana Access to Recovery (ATR) is a SAMHSA discretionary grant aimed at expanding the chemical dependency recovery infrastructure in the state to include both faith-based and community organizations that have traditionally not been involved in chemical dependency recovery. The grant will also pilot the establishment of client choice at the center of chemical dependency efforts throughout the state.
Who is Eligible?
Indiana ATR funds will be available for adults at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, residing in Allen, Elkhart, Lake, Marion, St. Joseph, Vanderburgh, and Vigo counties. The program is designed eliminate barriers to treatment and recovery services for adults dealing with substance abuse and addiction issues. The three target populations are: adults transitioning into the community after incarceration, women who are pregnant or who have dependent children and adults with a history of Methamphetamine use.
How does ATR Work?
Each client enrolled in ATR will work with a Care Coordinator who will help them assess their recovery needs and guide them in the development of their Individualized Recovery Plan. The Care Coordinator will authorize vouchers allowing the client to access ATR funded services and will also help the client to connect with any non-ATR services they may require. ATR providers will be both secular and faith-based, giving the client the option of selecting the provider they are most comfortable with. When a client accesses services at an ATR provider organization, that organization will then be reimbursed by the state. Adults enrolled in ATR must be residents of one of the seven designated counties. However, ATR clients may access services at any certified ATR Provider, which could be located in a non-ATR county.
