First Free Treatment- Access to Recovery

I wanted to share an email I received today. This is just an example of what great programs the military has to offer. Please, please, if they apply to you, take advantage of these programs because that is the only way we will have more available to us. -Amanda

Subject: First Free Treatment - Access to Recovery (UNCLASSIFIED)

On behalf of the Utah Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health and the
Utah National Guard, The Substance Abuse Prevention, Treatment, & Outreach
(PTO) office is pleased to announce the approaching implementation of the
Access to Recovery Grant.

The Access to Recovery Grant (ATR) is a $10.6 million grant that provides
monetary support of all phases of the treatment and recovery process. What
this means is FREE treatment for all Service Members, both Army and Air, the
families of Service Members to include mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers,
teen-age children, and adult sons and daughters!

Anyone who is remotely connected to a Service Member can qualify for this
grant.

The grant currently services clients in Salt Lake County, Weber County, and
Utah County. I am working closely with the implementation team to contract
with providers in Washington County, but as of yet that has not happened.
We will field cases from the Southern Region for alternative plans.

The contracts with the providers are being signed, and we can make referrals
as soon as the 15 FEB 2011.

There has never been a better time to get treatment and counseling services
than now. Military Members and our families go through hard times and are
affected by the disease of addiction.
There is a way out!
