Family Centered Substance Abuse Treatment Grants for Adolescents and their Families: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2009 Family Centered Substance Abuse Treatment Grants for Adolescents and their Families (Assertive Adolescent and Family Treatment). The purpose of this program is to provide substance abuse services to adolescents, their families/primary caregivers and older transition age youth and where appropriate, any significant others/mentors or other appropriate adults. Grantees will implement evidence-based practices, specifically the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA) coupled with Assertive Continuing Care (ACC), that are context specific focusing on the interaction between youth and their environments, family centered and community-based. Families/primary caregivers and other identified and appropriate adults are an integral part of the treatment process and their inclusion increases the likelihood of successful treatment and reintegration of the adolescents and transition age youth into their communities following the period of formalized treatment. SAMHSA is interested in advancing adolescent and youth treatment services by requiring applicants to implement the evidence-based A-CRA/ACC model. To ensure that the evidence-based practice is implemented with fidelity, grantees will receive initial training in this model, and continue to benefit from on-going support and coaching during the certification process for clinicians and supervisors. All grantees must become certified in the A-CRA/ACC model. Training, certification, and support, for a designated number of staff, will be provided by SAMHSA at no additional cost to the grantee (See Appendix I). Assertive Adolescent and Family Treatment is one of SAMHSA's services grant programs. SAMHSA's services grants are designed to address gaps in substance abuse prevention and treatment services and/or to increase the ability of States, units of local government, American Indian/Alaska Native Tribes and tribal organizations, and community- and faith-based organizations to help specific populations or geographic areas with serious, emerging substance abuse problems. SAMHSA intends that its services grants result in the delivery of services as soon as possible after award. Service delivery should begin by the 4th month of the project at the latest. Assertive Adolescent and Family Treatment grants are authorized under 509 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2010 focus area 26 (Substance Abuse).
