Funding Available For 16 Grants to Expand Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity in Targeted Areas of Need The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is soliciting applications for grants to expand substance abuse treatment capacity in targeted areas of need. This program is designed to address gaps in substance abuse services for persons with alcohol and drug use disorders and help meet the demand for such services. By improving needed treatment services, this program is intended to help reduce the health and social costs of substance abuse and dependence to the public and increase the safety of America’s citizens by reducing substance abuse related crime and violence.
It is expected that approximately $8 million will be available to fund up to 16 awards for up to three years. It is intended that these grants will result in the delivery of services as soon as possible after the award. The grants will be awarded by SAMHSA’s Center for Substance Abuse Treatment.
