The Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded a $400,000 Project Grant under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) program to the County of St. Francois, Missouri. The grant will be used to expand substance use disorder treatment capacity in the 24th Judicial Circuit's Adult and Family Treatment Courts. The overall goal is to ensure more individuals involved in the legal system have access to co-occurring substance use disorder and mental health treatment. Key objectives include increasing participation in the treatment courts, providing evidence-based prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery support services, and reducing recidivism of criminal offenses related to substance use. The grant will fund efforts to improve community collaboration and streamline the referral process to increase the number of individuals served, with a target of at least 200 participants over the 5-year project period.
