National Peer-Run Training and Technical Assistance Center for Addiction Recovery Support

The purpose of this program is to provide training and technical assistance (TTA) to domestic public and private non-profit entities that provide or support services intended for people who are experiencing challenges related to a substance use or co-occurring condition. Recipients will be expected to develop, implement, and maintain a TTA center that aligns with SAMHSA’s National Recovery Agenda.2 TTA activities will range from outreach and engagement to promotion of recovery and peer support. The vehicles used to deliver the TTA vary along a continuum from universal TTA (broad in scope; limited in depth, such as webinars), to more specific group-focused (such as learning collaboratives), to intensive (limited in reach, but deeper in-depth, such as onsite regular consultation or policy academies). The recipient will also partner with national, state, and local organizations and experts, including peer-run organizations and experts with lived experience to achieve required activities.
