If an individual in Sandy Spring needs drug abuse treatment but doesn't have health insurance or the funds to pay for treatment in full, the Access to Recovery Voucher is possibly an alternative to look into. ATR is a federally-funded plan which provides the means for individuals to access treatment programs and support including inpatient, regular outpatient, intensive 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 purchase 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) must be 18 years or older, 2) have a history of substance abuse and addiction, 3) have a yearly income that is below 200% of the Federal poverty level, and 4) reside in the counties or jurisdictions that provide ATR.
Individuals interested in the Access to Recovery Voucher can contact ATR Service Coordinators in their area. If someone's initial choice of treatment or rehab center isn't working out, they can consult with their coordinator to find one that is and that accepts the ATR.
