Access to Recovery (ATR)—Commonwealth of Massachusetts, DPH/BSAS

ATR is an innovative program that provides access to community services and resources to people with substance use disorders in Massachusetts. ATR has supported thousands of participants through their recovery in Boston, Worcester, New Bedford, Springfield/Holyoke, and Lowell.  
 
ATR provides participants with a menu of recovery support services to choose from including care coordination, access to basic needs, public transportation passes, health and mental health services, recovery coaching, rental assistance for sober housing, and employment training. When ATR participants have the opportunity to make their own decisions about their recovery, there is hope for sustaining that recovery.  
 
ATR focuses on providing wraparound support to participants, helping them toward self-sufficiency and employment. Along with providing a standardized comprehensive job readiness program, ATR provides tuition for select occupational training programs. 
 
Eighty percent of ATR participants have a history of involvement in the criminal justice system, so finding a job comes with significant barriers. ATR works with community partners to provide job training opportunities in fields that are receptive to hiring people with criminal backgrounds, such as culinary and food services, commercial cleaning, construction, carpentry, hospitality, truck driving, HVAC, introductory IT, personal fitness training, office support, and customer service. 
 
With all the support ATR provides, graduates are better equipped to continue their recovery path, find jobs, maintain stable housing, and make a sustainable change for a brighter future.
