If a person in Wellesley needs drug abuse treatment but doesn't have health insurance or the funds to pay for the rehab program in full, the Access to Recovery Voucher is an option to look into. ATR is a federally-funded program which makes it possible for qualified people to access treatment facilities and support including inpatient programs, intensive outpatient, regular outpatient, counseling, continuing care, recovery and life coaching, skills building, vocational training, and transportation assistance. The ATR grant program allows those individuals with vouchers to acquire rehabilitation and recovery support services for drug abuse disorders at the provider of their choice. To be eligible for ATR individuals must meet certain criteria, including: 1) be at least 18 years of age, 2) have a history of substance abuse and addiction, 3) have a yearly income that is below 200% of the Federal poverty level, and 4) reside in the counties or jurisdictions that provide ATR.
People interested in the Access to Recovery Voucher can consult with ATR Service Coordinators in their area. If the person's initial choice of treatment or facility isn't working out, they can work with their ATR coordinator to find one that best fits their needs and that accepts the ATR.
