Project Grant H79TI088669

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration awarded $544,724 to Aviva Family and Children's Services on September 30, 2026, under the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment Projects of Regional and National Significance program (CFDA 93.490) to establish integrated substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health treatment and recovery services for youth.

Aviva will deliver screening, assessment, treatment planning, FDA-approved medications for alcohol and opioid use disorder, family-centered treatment, overdose education and naloxone distribution, and aftercare across ASAM levels 0.5, 1, and 2.1 to 360 youth ages 12–25 and their families over five years. The program serves young people already connected to Aviva through its school, child welfare, juvenile justice, and mental health programs who currently lack a dedicated youth substance use disorder treatment pathway. Enrollment targets 40 youth in year 1 (25 within the first six months) and 80 annually in years 2–5. Services prioritize youth involved with or at risk of involvement in child welfare and juvenile justice systems, including pregnant and parenting young women.

Performance occurs across Service Planning Areas 2 (San Fernando Valley), 4 (Metro LA), and 6 (South LA) in Los Angeles County, anchored at Aviva's headquarters at 7120 Franklin Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90046. The period of performance runs through September 29, 2031, with services beginning within four months of award. The program goal is for clients to build and sustain a lifestyle free of alcohol and illicit drugs, supported by stronger family relationships and durable recovery networks.
