If an individual in Lawrence needs substance abuse treatment but doesn't have private health insurance or the money to pay for treatment in full, the Access to Recovery Voucher is an alternative to consider. ATR is a federally-funded program which provides the means for individuals to access addiction treatment programs and support including inpatient, intensive outpatient, regular outpatient, continuing care, counseling, life coaching and recovery support, vocational training, skills building, and transportation assistance. The ATR grant program allows those individuals with vouchers to acquire rehabilitation 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 a yearly 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 initial choice of treatment or facility isn't working out, they can work with their coordinator to locate one that best fits their needs and that accepts the ATR.
