When a person in Adel needs drug or alcohol rehab but doesn't have private health insurance or the money 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, intensive outpatient, regular outpatient, continuing care, counseling, life coaching and recovery support, vocational training, skills building, and transportation assistance. The ATR grant program provides those individuals with vouchers to acquire rehabilitation and recovery support services for substance use disorders at the provider of their choice. To qualify for ATR individuals must meet certain requirements, 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 below 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 contact ATR Service Coordinators in their area. If someone's original choice of program or rehab center isn't working out, they can work with their coordinator to locate one that is and that accepts the ATR.
