Funding Tips & Trends 

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) will distribute 12 grants averaging $500,000 each for four years to fund addiction treatment for young adults returning from prison.

The grants are part of a $23-million fund set aside for programs in eight states: Arizona, California, Georgia, Texas, Massachusetts, New York, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

All of the organizations promote programs with treatment for drug abusers coming out of the juvenile-justice system, focusing on ages 16 to 24.
