Addiction Recovery Program Grant

The Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) administers general appropriations funds to support the Addiction Recovery Grant Program (ARGP). The Appropriation Act states that the four pilot ARGP programs that were chosen in consultation with the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services shall not receive grants for more than $38,400 each.

The purpose of ARGP is to develop and maintain a model addiction recovery program in local or regional jails. The programs are based on best practices in existing research, related standards developed for substance use disorder treatment and criminal justice programming, and practices identified by experienced practitioners that are effective interventions in criminal justice settings.

Currently, the existing four ARGP programs are the only ones eligible for funding.
