The Maine Department of Health and Human Services (Maine DHHS) was awarded a $39,176,792 Project 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 program (CFDA 93.243). The grant will support the state's overall goal to reduce the negative health and economic impacts of substance use disorder and opioid use disorder on individuals, families, and communities in Maine.
Specifically, the grant funding will be used to expand access to medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder, including services for transitional-age youth and incarcerated individuals. It will also support naloxone distribution, peer recovery support services, and primary prevention programs to curb substance use among transitional-aged youth. The grant aims to increase outreach and engagement of historically disadvantaged populations in these initiatives. The project period runs from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2027.
