Substance Abuse Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services Block Grant Summary

The Washington State Health Care Authority received $10.49 million in federal funding through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment under the Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse program (CFDA 93.959). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, supports the development and implementation of comprehensive substance use prevention, treatment, and recovery initiatives across Washington State. HCA utilizes these funds to deliver evidence-based medication-assisted treatment, harm reduction services, crisis response capabilities, and rehabilitation programs for individuals with substance use disorders.

HCA distributes block grant resources to a network of sub-awardees including Behavioral Health Administrative Services Organizations, peer-run recovery support organizations, tribal nations, county governments, and specialized treatment providers. The funded services encompass prevention coalitions, treatment programs in community and correctional settings, transitions services for individuals experiencing homelessness, school-based substance abuse services, and workforce training for behavioral health professionals. These grants enable HCA to maintain continuity of substance abuse prevention and treatment services across diverse populations and service delivery settings throughout the state, consistent with the statutory requirements of the Public Health Service Act and applicable federal regulations under 2 CFR Part 200 and 45 CFR Part 96.
