Project Grant H79TI088704

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded the County of Sacramento Division of Public Health $400,000 on September 30, 2026, under the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment Projects of Regional and National Significance program (CFDA 93.490) to expand the Sacramento County Family Treatment Court.

The project delivers coordinated, trauma-informed substance use disorder treatment and recovery supports to parents and caregivers involved with Sacramento County Child Protective Services, addressing child safety concerns and promoting family reunification. Services include comprehensive screening and assessment, overdose prevention education and naloxone distribution, and evidence-based outpatient and intensive outpatient substance use disorder treatment with residential referral pathways. The initiative targets adults aged 18 and older, including mothers, fathers, non-birthing parents, kinship caregivers, and legal guardians with moderate to severe substance use disorders (methamphetamine, opioids including fentanyl, alcohol, cannabis, polysubstance use) and co-occurring behavioral health conditions including depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma-related disorders, and domestic violence histories. The project also addresses service needs such as housing instability, unemployment, transportation barriers, childcare gaps, and public assistance navigation.

The grant covers a five-year period through September 29, 2031, and serves Sacramento County, California (994 square miles, approximately 1.61 million residents). The project will enroll at least 40 unduplicated parents annually, with a minimum of 200 served over the five-year grant period. Place of performance is Sacramento, CA 95823.
