The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded a $60,108,212 Project Grant under the Opioid STR program (CFDA 93.788) to the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) and its community partners. The grant funding will support a comprehensive statewide response to the opioid crisis, including initiatives focused on prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery support services.

Key activities to be delivered under this grant include: expanding access to medication-assisted treatment and other evidence-based opioid use disorder interventions, particularly for high-risk populations such as justice-involved individuals; providing harm reduction-focused outreach and engagement to actively using individuals; and offering recovery support services including temporary housing, peer support, and employment assistance. The grant aims to continue reducing opioid overdose deaths and increasing awareness of opioid risks across Connecticut's 3.6 million residents. The project will be implemented over a 3-year period from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2027.
