What is ATR • ATR is a nationwide initiative of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). • The program provides vouchers to clients for the purchase of substance abuse clinical treatment and recovery support services.
ATR Goals The goals of the program are to: • expand capacity, • support client choice, • and increase the array of services.

Target Numbers • 3774clients over three years. • 1258 clients/year. • To accommodate continuity of care and recidivism we estimate that as many 20% of the 5000 clients enrolled in ATR III will re-enroll at some time during the four year project period for the ATR IV.
ATR IV Resource Allocation • All ATR IV access centers have established financial caps based on client target numbers and GPRA follow-up completion goals. • Caps will be adjusted quarterly based on progress toward recruitment and follow-up goals.
ATR Client Registration and Placement Process • Client is registered in the voucher system and assigned an ATR number. • Voucher and GPRA number are the same. • Client is screened (AUDIT/DAST/CRAFFT) • GPRA is completed • Client is assigned to an Anishnaabek Healing Circle Phase (Readiness Assessment) • Clinical and/or recovery support assessment is complete if the client is in Phase II or III.
ATR Client Voucher Process • Vouchers for access, care coordination, follow-up and discharge are auto-generated by the system. • Vouchers are requested based on the client needs. • Referrals are made to tribal umbrella providers or Tier 2 providers as necessary based on client needs and choices. • Vouchers are shared with Tier 2 providers as necessary.
Client Process All Clients • Services are provided and documented in the client file. • Voucher transaction forms are completed to facilitate billing for services. • Documentation related to the transaction must be attached to or filed with the transaction form.
Client Process All Clients • Receipts should be in the client file for ATR services purchased on behalf of the client. • As you all know funds never go directly to the client for a purchase of gas, goods, etc. • Voucher transactions are entered into the voucher system. • ITC reviews and completes electronic audits on the files prior to payment. • On-site file audits are completed by ITC randomly but with notice.
