Summary
The Adult Treatment Court (ATC) Grant Program is to reduce the misuse of opioids, stimulants, and other substances by people involved in the criminal justice system. Recognizing the significant increase in overdose deaths and their public health impact, BJA also encourages applicants to focus on preventing overdose and overdose deaths. In the proposal narrative, the applicant is required to describe a plan to provide access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in serving individuals with substance use disorders.
BJA seeks to provide financial and technical assistance to applicants to plan, implement, and enhance the operations of adult treatment courts. Adult treatment courts effectively integrate evidence-based substance use disorder treatment, mandatory drug testing, incentives and sanctions, and transitional services in judicially supervised criminal court settings that have jurisdiction over persons with substance use disorder treatment needs in order to reduce recidivism, increase access to treatment and recovery support, and prevent overdose.
