The County of Clackamas, Oregon received a $400,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance program (CFDA 93.243). The grant will fund the expansion of substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery support services in Clackamas County's existing adult drug court programs, including the Adult Drug Court, Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants (DUII) Court, and Co-Occurring Drug and Mental Health Court. The grant will enable the county to improve abstinence from substance use by expanding drug testing services, promote housing stability through expanded recovery housing supports, enhance treatment services by hiring additional clinical personnel, and reduce criminal justice involvement by diverting more individuals into the treatment court programs. The award will be used to implement high-quality, recovery-oriented, trauma-informed, and equity-based services, practices, and policies to improve behavioral health outcomes. The grant performance period is from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2029, during which the county expects to serve a total of 640 unduplicated individuals across the three drug court programs.
