of care services from the correctional institution (prison/jail/detention center) to the community setting. Stakeholders will be expected to work together to give individual clients the opportunity to improve their lives, including recovery from substance use disorders and developing the capacity and skills to become fully-functioning parents, employees and citizens. SAMHSA’s interest is to actively support and shape offender reentry treatment partnerships so that clinical needs are met and clients are treated using evidence-based practices consistent with the disease model and the problem-solving model, rather than with the traditional criminal justice model. A long-term goal of this program is to build sustainable systems of care for juveniles and adults needing substance abuse treatment and recovery supports services as they return to the community from incarceration. This program is designed to address the needs of sentenced substance-abusing juveniles or adult offenders returning to their families and community from adult or juvenile incarceration in facilities including prisons, jails, or juvenile detention centers. Therefore, grantees must only serve individuals who are incarcerated and within four months of release into the community. This grant program is not designed to address the needs of individuals in custody or detention settings awaiting adjudication, or sentenced to residential treatment facilities, or in school-based programs. Grantees should begin allowable activities in institutional correctional settings (See Section I- 2.3- Allowable Activities in Institutional Correctional Settings) and start transitional planning as soon as possible, and provide community-based treatment services within four months of grant award. 2.1 Populations of Focus Applicants must propose to serve only one of two specific offender population categories: Juvenile Offenders: Those offenders, 14 years up to 18 years old (or as defined by your State law) under the jurisdiction of the juvenile justice system who have been sentenced to incarceration. If your State jurisdiction uses a different age range for juvenile offenders, you must document how the age of “juveniles” is defined in your State justice system. Adult Offenders: Those offenders, 18 years of age and older (or as defined your State law) under the jurisdiction of the criminal justice system who have been sentenced to incarceration as adults. If your State jurisdiction uses a different age range for adult offenders, you must document how the age of “adults” is defined in your State justice system. In addition, the “juvenile” or “adult” offender must meet the following criteria to receive services funded under this grant program: Be assessed as substance-using/abusing or diagnosed as having a substance abuse disorder; Must have been sentenced to and serving at least one year in a correctional institution (jail/prison/detention center;) 6
Be within four months of scheduled release to the community in order to receive services in the correctional/detention setting (See Section I-2.3- Allowable Activities in Institutional Correctional Settings); and Upon immediate release from the correctional facility to the community be referred to community-based treatment. Applicants must address one specific offender population of focus (i.e., juveniles or adults), and those offenders must be within four months of scheduled release to the community or your application will not be reviewed and will not be considered for an award. Federal Bureau of Prisons institutions are not eligible to apply for an ORP grant. Additionally, if you propose to serve offenders who are currently in the Federal Bureau of Prisons or its various correctional/community corrections institutions and programs, your application will not be reviewed and will not be considered for an award. 2.2 Required Activities and Services Offender reentry, also referred to as reintegration or continuing care for younger populations, is the process an offender in a juvenile or adult correctional facility goes through as he/she transitions from the institution to the community. SAMHSA/CSAT has a substantial interest in funding projects that provide both services/treatment and systems linkages for the reentering offender. Applicants must propose to address both of these areas. 2.2.1 Services/Treatment Applicants must propose activities that improve the health of the targeted clients by: providing comprehensive substance abuse treatment; improving family functioning; helping clients develop job skills and find jobs; reducing the likelihood the client will be re-arrested; and reducing the crime rate and the number of victims. The following represents a comprehensive but not inclusive range of services/treatment to be provided, and for which funds may be used: Alcohol and drug (substance abuse) treatment; Wrap around services supporting the access to and retention in substance abuse treatment or to address the treatment-specific needs of clients during or following a substance abuse treatment episode; Screening, assessment, case management, program management and referrals related to substance abuse treatment for clients; Comprehensive individual assessment for alcohol and drug abuse; Individualized services planning; 7
