Grants to USA and territories nonprofit recovery community organizations (RCOs) to provide long-term substance abuse and addiction recovery services. Funding is intended to promote the enhancement, development, delivery, and expansion of qualifying recovery support services. Funding may also be used for education and outreach related to recovery. Programs will be principally governed by people in recovery from substance abuse and addiction who reflect the community served.
Required Activities:
You must use BCOR funds to primarily develop, expand, and enhance community and statewide RSS, including:
- Peer Recovery Support Services (PRSS), designed and delivered by people who have experienced both drug/alcohol addiction and recovery. Since PRSS are designed and delivered by peers who have been successful in the recovery process, they embody a powerful message of hope, as well as a wealth of experiential knowledge. The services can effectively extend the reach of treatment beyond the clinical setting into the everyday environment of those seeking to achieve or sustain recovery. Examples would be using funds for peer mentors, recovery coaches or recovery support specialists; and
- RSS, defined as non-clinical services that directly assists individuals and families to recover from alcohol or drug problems. They include social support, linkage to allied service providers (i.e. TANF, Medicaid), and a full range of human services that facilitate recovery and wellness contributing to an improved quality of life (e.g., housing linkages, child care, vocational, educational, legal, and transportation services, etc.). These services may be provided prior to, during, and after treatment.
