Block Grant B08TI088486

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment awarded the New Mexico Health Care Authority $2.59 million through the Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse (CFDA 93.959) program. This block grant, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027, supports the state's development and implementation of comprehensive substance use prevention, treatment, and recovery services. The funding enables New Mexico to deliver evidence-based prevention initiatives, treatment and rehabilitation activities for individuals with substance use disorders, and recovery support services across the state's diverse populations, including underserved and rural communities.

As the designated state agency administering this block grant, the New Mexico Health Care Authority integrates these funds into its broader portfolio of substance abuse and mental health services. The award supports the state's capacity to plan, implement, and evaluate prevention and treatment activities addressing alcohol and drug abuse, while maintaining compliance with federal regulatory requirements under 2 CFR Part 200 and 45 CFR Part 96. Each state allotment is available for obligation and expenditure during the fiscal year of allocation and the subsequent fiscal year.
