Access to Recovery

ACCESS TO RECOVERY II (ATR II) The Council on Alcohol and Drugs Houston is the Assessment Provider for Access to Recovery II services in Harris and Fort Bend Counties .

What is ATR II? The Access to Recovery II (ATR II) program is an initiative to implement a voucher program designed to increase access to substance abuse services and offer participant choice among service providers. The key elements of the ATR II program include an independent assessor (The Council), participant choice of service providers, service linkages with faith based and community based organizations, and an electronic voucher method of payment. Funded through the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Texas was awarded a three year Access to Recovery II grant in the amount of $4.5 million per year for client services. In Texas, the ATR II program intends to work in conjunction with one or more drug courts in select counties to provide services for substance abusing and dependent Texans in the criminal justice and family justice system. Additionally, grant funds will be used to provide services to people dependent or abusing methamphetamines in those select counties regardless of drug court participation.

How does my facility get involved? DSHS is currently accepting applications for providers interested in offering services for the ATR II program. More information can be found on the DSHS website: http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/sa/atr2/ 

What training is needed? Prior to submitting an application for open enrollment, providers must attend an ATR II informational program training to learn about program requirements. Organizations attending the training will receive a certificate of attendance. The certificate will be required when submitting your enrollment application. This training will be at no cost to the provider, however, any costs associated with attending the training shall be the provider’s sole responsibility. Providers interested in participating in the ATR II Provider Network can contact Anna Fornaris at 281-200-9228 for information.

I know someone on meth who needs services- have them contact Anna Fornaris at 281-200-9228 to arrange for them to come in.
