Opportunity Information: Apply for TI 17 006
The Recovery Community Services Program-Statewide Network (RCSP-SN) is a SAMHSA/CSAT discretionary grant opportunity (FY 2017) designed to strengthen Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs) and the statewide networks of partners they rely on. The central idea is to position RCOs and recovery stakeholders as core partners in how states and communities deliver substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, recovery support services (RSS), and related services across allied health systems. Rather than funding isolated programs, RCSP-SN focuses on building and reinforcing the broader recovery infrastructure in a state, with an emphasis on collaboration, systems improvement, public health messaging, and training efforts carried out for, or in partnership with, key recovery stakeholder organizations.
A major priority of the program is increasing the visibility, acceptance, and routine use of peer recovery support services (PRSS) within Recovery Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC). RCSP-SN grantees are expected to work alongside traditional SUD treatment providers and other entities that purchase or rely on PRSS to demonstrate that peer services are relevant, appropriate, and effective complements to clinical care. In practical terms, the opportunity emphasizes embedding peers and peer-led supports into established treatment and allied health settings, and ensuring that recovery supports are not treated as optional add-ons, but as consistent fixtures within the broader continuum of care.
The grant also puts heavy weight on systems-level participation and influence. Applicants are expected to deepen RCO involvement in state and local government planning processes, including participation on planning, policy, and program development councils at multiple levels. This reflects SAMHSA's intent to move recovery support beyond individual service delivery and toward structural integration, where recovery voices help shape how policies, programs, and funding decisions are made. The desired direction is that RCOs and recovery stakeholders are regularly included in decisions about SUD services and related public health strategies, rather than being consulted only occasionally or after the fact.
Sustainability is another defining theme of RCSP-SN. SAMHSA highlights that while many states have expanded RCOs and PRSS, there is an urgent need to keep that recovery infrastructure viable over time. The program therefore encourages capacity building and sustainability planning, including identifying diverse revenue streams and building partnerships across state, community, and private sectors. A specific example emphasized in the announcement is working with State Medicaid Directors to modify Medicaid plans or approaches in ways that allow reimbursement for peer billable services, which can be a key pathway to making peer supports financially stable beyond the grant period. Alongside Medicaid strategies, the program encourages developing additional revenue sources and financial models that support long-term solvency for RCOs.
Overall, SAMHSA frames the expected outcomes in line with its Recovery Support Strategic Initiative: stronger integration of RCOs into state and local planning structures, more systematic placement of peers within traditional SUD treatment and allied health environments, progress toward reimbursement mechanisms (including Medicaid) for peer services, and broader sustainability strategies that reduce dependence on short-term funding. The intended result is a more durable statewide recovery ecosystem where RCO infrastructure is stronger and the delivery of addiction peer recovery services is better supported, better integrated, and more consistently available.
Administratively, this opportunity is a SAMHSA grant (CFDA 93.243) under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, authorized by Section 509 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, and aligned with Healthy People 2020 Substance Abuse objectives (HP 2020-SA). The funding opportunity number is TI 17 006, with an award ceiling of $150,000, an anticipated 10 awards, and an original application closing date of March 20, 2017 (creation date January 17, 2017).

What is the RCSP-SN grant opportunity?

It emphasizes building and reinforcing statewide recovery infrastructure rather than funding isolated, standalone programs.
What is the central purpose of the program?
The central idea is to position RCOs and recovery stakeholders as core partners in how states and communities deliver substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, recovery support services (RSS), and related services across allied health systems. The program stresses collaboration, systems improvement, public health messaging, and training carried out for, or in partnership with, key recovery stakeholder organizations.
Is this grant meant to fund individual recovery programs or broader infrastructure?
RCSP-SN is framed as an infrastructure-building opportunity. Rather than funding isolated programs, it focuses on strengthening the broader recovery ecosystem in a state, including statewide networks, partnerships, and systems-level integration of recovery supports.
What are Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs) in the context of this opportunity?
Within the information provided, RCOs are described as recovery-focused organizations whose capacity and statewide partner networks are a major focus of the grant. SAMHSA intends for these organizations and recovery stakeholders to be core partners in service delivery and public health strategy related to SUD treatment and recovery supports.
What types of services and systems does RCSP-SN aim to influence?
The opportunity is focused on SUD treatment, recovery support services (RSS), and related services across allied health systems. It also emphasizes Recovery Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC) as the setting where peer recovery support services (PRSS) should become more visible, accepted, and routinely used.
What is a major priority of RCSP-SN?
A major priority is increasing the visibility, acceptance, and routine use of peer recovery support services (PRSS) within Recovery Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC). The goal is for peer services to be treated as consistent fixtures within the continuum of care, not optional add-ons.
How does the grant expect peer recovery support services (PRSS) to be used?

What is SAMHSA trying to change about how recovery voices are included in policy and planning?
The desired direction is structural integration: recovery voices (RCOs and stakeholders) should be regularly included in decisions about SUD services and related public health strategies, rather than being consulted only occasionally or late in the process.
Why is sustainability emphasized in RCSP-SN?
SAMHSA highlights that while many states have expanded RCOs and PRSS, there is an urgent need to keep that recovery infrastructure viable over time. RCSP-SN therefore encourages capacity building and sustainability planning to reduce reliance on short-term funding.
