The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded a $410,703 Project Grant under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) program to Southcentral Foundation, an Alaska Native non-profit healthcare organization. The grant will fund a 5-year project titled "SCF TOR Benteh Nuutah Four Directions" to reduce opioid use disorder, overdose deaths, and other substance abuse in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and northern Anchorage, Alaska.

Specifically, the project will: 1) Provide a continuum of culturally-appropriate, evidence-based treatment and recovery support services, including medication-assisted treatment, counseling, and case management, for at least 40-80 individuals annually; and 2) Increase access to harm reduction services such as naloxone distribution and drug checking supplies to help prevent overdose fatalities by 75% over the project period. The grant will also support tele-behavioral health, community education, and training for healthcare providers in the region.
