If a person in Berkeley needs drug or alcohol rehab and doesn't have health insurance or the funds to pay for treatment in full, the Access to Recovery Voucher is an alternative to consider. ATR is a federally-funded plan which provides the means for qualified people to access addiction treatment programs and support including inpatient, intensive outpatient, regular outpatient, continuing care, counseling, recovery and life coaching, skills building, vocational training, and transportation assistance. The ATR grant program allows individuals with vouchers to acquire treatment and recovery support services for drug abuse disorders at the provider of their choice. To be eligible for ATR clients must meet certain criteria, including: 1) be at least 18 years of age, 2) have a history of substance use or abuse, 3) have an annual income that is less than 200% of the Federal poverty level, and 4) reside in the counties or jurisdictions that provide ATR.
People interested in the Access to Recovery Voucher can consult with ATR Service Coordinators in their area. If the person's original choice of treatment or rehab center isn't working out, they can work with their coordinator to locate one that best fits their needs and that accepts the ATR.
