The State of Washington, a previously ATR-funded state, is implementing its ATR III grant to expand and promote community-based Recovery Oriented Systems of Care. Washington will serve 7,600 clients with the ATR III grant. ATR III's expansion will include serving clients not actively involved in substance use disorder treatment including a new emphasis on clients entering recovery housing systems such as Oxford Houses. Services are provided to low-income clients, and to National Guard soldiers without regard to income. Also, all active duty and discharged soldiers having served in Iraq or Afghanistan are eligible for ATR services. Enhancement of ATR includes providing services that are part of a documented community ROSC plan specifically. An ATR community's ROSC is required to include the following elements: client input; housing, employment, treatment and other services; cross-system agency collaboration; all focused on specific outcomes dealing with recovery, health, and wellness. The state of Washington allocates funding to the six counties: Clark, King, Pierce, Snohomish, Spokane, and Yakima. County Coordinators manage the voucher disbursement at the local level with overall responsibility resting with Washington State.
