Great Plains Tribal Chairmen's Health Board

Access to Recovery

What is Access to Recovery?

Access to Recovery ( ATR) is a Presidential initiative which provides funding for substance abuse clinical treatment and recovery support services.  The Great Plains Tribal Chairmen's Health Board administers the ATR program in collaboration with 18 federally recognized tribes of this region.   

•ATR is a client-centered, community based recovery program involving clinical treatment, faith-based counseling and support, and other services that provide client support during the recovery process.

ATR is a federally funded initiative designed to increase access to substance abuse services through:

•Independent assessment
•Emphasis on participant choice of providers
•Develop and maintain extensive service linkages with faith based and community based organizations
•Deliver funds through an electronic voucher method of payment
 

ATR is based on the philosophy that recovery begins with a choice
 
    This choice by the client is the cornerstone of ATR’s mission. By providing a choice based program, people have access to treatment options that fit their needs and give them the flexibility to find the best path to recovery.
