The Family and Juvenile Treatment Drug Courts (Drug Courts) Grant Program is one of SAMHSA's Services Grants programs. The purpose of Family and Juvenile Treatment Drug Courts grants is to provide funds to be used by treatment providers and the courts to provide alcohol and drug treatment, wrap-around services supporting substance abuse treatment, assessment, case management, and program coordination to the in need of treatment drug court services. Priority for the use of the funding should be given to addressing gaps in the continuum of treatment.
Grantees will be expected to provide a coordinated, multi-system approach designed to combine the sanctioning power of courts with effective treatment services to break the cycle of child abuse/neglect or criminal behavior, alcohol and/or drug use, and incarceration or other penalties. Drug courts use regular appearances of the client before a judge who is part of, or guided by, a team of all relevant professionals. Family treatment drug courts provide services to parents who have been charged with child abuse and/or neglect, and also to the children and other important family members. Juvenile treatment drug courts provide services to juveniles who are found delinquent, and can also provide services to the parents, siblings, and other important family members. For the purposes of this program, juvenile treatment drug courts may include those courts that deal with juveniles in pre-adjudicated or adjudicated status, or under post-detention judicial supervision (such as Reentry drug courts).
Eligibility
Eligible Applicants: All entities listed in Section III-1, Eligible Applicants, of the SVC-05 PA
End of
Translation
, and individual treatment drug courts are eligible applicants. It is the intention of this program to provide funding to support individual drug courts. Some State or County Court integrated/consolidated systems require that individual drug courts apply through the State or County. This approach is permitted, but all grant funds awarded must be dedicated to the individual drug court. If the State or County is the applicant, it will be the award recipient and the entity responsible for satisfying the grant requirements.
The purpose of this program is to facilitate the expansion and enhancement of treatment services in existing family and juvenile treatment drug courts. It is not intended to provide start-up funds to create new treatment drug courts. Therefore, it is essential that drug courts are operational at the time of application. Operational is defined as a judge being designated as a "drug court" judge with a "drug court" docket of cases and seeing defendants in "drug court" on a regular and recurring basis. By signing the cover page (SF 424) of the application, the authorized representative of the applicant organization is certifying that the Family or Juvenile Treatment Drug Court for which grant funds are requested is operational as defined immediately above.
Applications for SAMHSA Services Grants must include evidence of experience and credentials as described in Section III-3.2 of the SVC-05 PA.
