California

The IDTA will support California’s continuing efforts to meet the child welfare service benchmarks established by the Administration for Children, Youth and Families relating to safety, permanency and well-being, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s benchmarks relating to recovery and wellness.

For the families in each County that have substance use disorders as a primary barrier to reunification, the provision of IDTA will help California achieve:

  • Earlier access to quality treatment;
  • Better treatment completion rates;
  • Higher reunification rates; and
  • Reduction in re-entry cases;
