How does ATR Work?
Each client enrolled in ATR will work with a Recovery Consultant who will help them assess their recovery needs and guide them in the development of their Individualized Recovery Plan. The Recovery Consultant will authorize vouchers allowing the client to access ATR funded services and will also help the client to connect with any non-ATR services they may require. ATR providers will be both secular and faith-based, giving the client the option of selecting the provider they are most comfortable with. When a client accesses services at an ATR provider organization, that organization will then be reimbursed by the state. Adults enrolled in ATR must be residents of one of the seven designated counties. However, ATR client s may access services at any certified ATR Provider, which could be located in a non-ATR county.
