Opportunity Information: Apply for TI 26 015
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is offering a discretionary grant program titled "Grants to Expand Substance Use Disorder Treatment Capacity in Adult and Family Treatment Drug Courts" (Funding Opportunity Number TI 26 015, CFDA 93.490). The core goal is to strengthen and expand substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery support services within drug courts that already exist, rather than creating entirely new courts. The program is built around the idea that treatment drug courts can achieve better outcomes when the court's legal leverage and structured oversight are tightly coordinated with evidence-based clinical treatment and practical recovery supports that help people stabilize, remain engaged, and reduce the likelihood of returning to substance use or re-entering the justice system.
A central expectation of this opportunity is that funded projects will use a coordinated, multisystem approach. In practical terms, that means the drug court, treatment providers, supervision partners, and other key systems (for example, behavioral health, social services, and related community supports) should function as an integrated team instead of operating in silos. The drug court contributes the accountability framework and authority to enforce participation requirements, while clinical partners provide evidence-based SUD treatment services that match participant needs. Recovery support services are also emphasized, which typically refers to non-clinical supports that make treatment more sustainable, such as case management, peer recovery supports, linkage to housing and employment resources, transportation assistance, and other wraparound services that help participants stay connected to care and maintain progress.
Funding is provided as a grant, with an award ceiling of $400,000 per award. SAMHSA anticipates making about 19 awards under this competition. The opportunity was created on 2026-06-16, and the listed original closing date is 2026-07-16. The funding activity category is Health, consistent with SAMHSA's mission and the focus on expanding treatment and recovery services for people involved in the justice system through adult and family treatment drug courts.
Eligibility is broad across public-sector and nonprofit entities that are positioned to operate or support treatment drug courts and associated treatment services. Eligible applicants include States and political subdivisions of States, Indian tribes and tribal organizations (as defined in 25 U.S.C. 5304), and health facilities or programs run by or under contract or grant with the Indian Health Service. SAMHSA also allows other public or nonprofit private entities to apply, explicitly including faith-based organizations, as long as they meet the program requirements and can carry out the proposed work in line with grant rules.
A major operational detail for applicants is the submission limitation that SAMHSA is imposing for this competition. SAMHSA will accept and review only the first 50 complete, successfully submitted, and high-quality applications received through eRA. Once that threshold is reached, the submission portal will close and no additional applications will be considered, even if the official closing date has not yet arrived. This makes timing and readiness especially important. Applicants need to plan for early submission, ensure the application package is complete, and pay close attention to quality and compliance to avoid being screened out after investing time in preparation.
Overall, this grant opportunity is aimed at increasing treatment capacity and strengthening the service continuum embedded in adult and family treatment drug courts by combining the court's structured supervision with proven SUD treatment approaches and meaningful recovery supports. The intent is to improve outcomes for participants by ensuring that justice-system involvement becomes a pathway into effective care and long-term recovery rather than a revolving door of relapse and re-arrest.Apply for TI 26 015
