The Cowlitz Indian Tribe was awarded a $700,000 Project Grant under the Congressional Directives program (CFDA 93.493) by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The grant will fund the tribe's acquisition and operation of a mobile unit to provide Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) services for individuals affected by opioid use and other substance use disorders in the Longview, WA area. The key goals of the project are to increase access to and utilization of MAT services, deliver behavioral health interventions in community-based settings, and engage the indigenous community in holistic health services to improve overall health outcomes. The grant will support personnel, equipment, and supplies needed to effectively operate the mobile MAT unit for its first year of service, with the intent of establishing it as a self-sustaining, long-term intervention to combat the opioid epidemic. The award date is September 30, 2024, and the project is expected to be completed by September 29, 2025.
