A Presidential initiative, Access To Recovery (ATR), provides clients who are involved with Child Welfare Services and in need of treatment for drug and alcohol abuse with vouchers to pay for a range of community-based assessment and recovery support services. The vouchers promote the individual client's choice by expanding access to care, including access to faith- and community-based programs that are culturally relevant, and increasing the range of available recovery support services. ATR offers individualized, self-directed recovery for individuals with substance abuse disorders.
In Hawaii, on the Island of Oahu, just over $8 million has been awarded for three years and is expected to assist over 2,700 individuals, particularly those struggling with methamphetamine addiction, to connect with treatment and engage in recovery support services. See http://www.atr.samhsa.gov for more information on the Access To Recovery grants.
