The North Dakota Department of Human Services (NDDHS) received a $12,000,000 State Opioid Response (SOR) grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) program. The purpose of this Project Grant award is to address the opioid overdose crisis in North Dakota by increasing access to FDA-approved medications for the treatment of opioid use disorder (MOUD) and supporting the continuum of prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery support services. Key planned activities include enhancing statewide substance use prevention messaging, establishing new syringe service programs, integrating MOUD in healthcare and correctional settings, and expanding peer support services. NDDHS will partner with the state's Health Equity Office and North Dakota tribes to deliver culturally competent services and address the needs of diverse populations across the state.
