Anishnaabek Healing Circle Access to Recovery ATR & the Military Veterans, Active Military, National Guard: How can we work together to help active duty, returning servicemen and service-women, and veterans who are Native American, to access treatment and recovery resources?

ATR and the Military Goal: to introduce ATR as a referral source and resource to the military.

What is ATR? Access to Recovery – ATR – is a nationwide initiative of the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). The program issues vouchers to clients for the purchase of clinical treatment and recovery support services.

What is ATR? The Anishnaabek Healing Circle ATR is designed to support healing and recovery from addiction among the Michigan tribal population. The Inter-Tribal Council of Michigan is the grantee for the program.

ATR Goals The goals of the program are to:  expand capacity to serve Native Americans,  support client choice,  and increase the array of services. The Inter-Tribal Council and 12 tribes are collaborating partners in ATR:  ATR II started 10/2007 and ended 9/2010  ATR III started 10/2010 and will end 9/2014

Clinical Treatment Program Qualifications Organizations will be licensed by the State of Michigan or under Tribal Codes for the services they are providing.

ATR III Enhancements Expand outreach to under-served Native American populations, such as the Active Military Service, Veterans, Prison re-entry, homeless and hard to reach populations.

ATR III Resource Allocation ATR III funding is a payor of last resort. Insurances or Veterans benefits will be used first. ATR is a supplement and can add/ enhance what VA already has to offer. ATR III can be a new Referral Source for the VA.

ATR III Resource Allocation ATR III has a new approach to placement of client (Phases) that encourages clients to progress toward full engagement in treatment and/or recovery. ATR III vouchers have been restructured to create a match with the recovery support assessment and service options.

ATR Client Registration and Placement Process – Client is registered at one of the Tribal Access centers. – Client is screened (AUDIT/DAST/CRAFFT) and if eligible, is assigned a unique Client ID # that never changes. – GPRA is completed. – Client is assigned to an Anishnaabek Healing Circle Phase. – Clinical and/or recovery support assessment is completed if the client is in Phase II or III.

Client Choice – It is the client’s choice of what provider they will use as long as the provider is in the ATR Network, is accessible, and provides the level of care the client needs, based on assessment. – The Tribal Access Center provides Care Coordination and will stay with the Client throughout the ATR process. – The Care Coordinator helps the client navigate the system and find providers that match the client’s treatment and recovery plan.
