ACCESS TO RECOVERY III
MARYLAND
RecoveryNet
What is ATR
Access to Recovery (ATR) is a “high-priority” federal
initiative that provides vouchers to individuals to
purchase services and supports linked to their
recovery from substance use disorders.
ATR is a SAMHSA system transformation grant
designed to build recovery support networks within
communities.
ATR emphasizes the expansion of capacity within
systems of care.
ATR projects involve clients in directing their own
care and give them choices among appropriate
providers.
ATR Impact on Outcomes
According to GPRA results outcome data are
promising. At six months post admission to ATR
services,
80% were abstinent from substance use,
46% were stably housed,
51% were employed,
87% were connected to support networks,
and 96% reported no involvement with the criminal
justice system.
