The Shingle Springs Rancheria (also known as the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians) received a $500,000 Project Grant award 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 grant will fund a 5-year Opioid Response project to be administered by the Shingle Springs Health and Wellness Center, the tribal agency that provides healthcare services to the 554-member tribe and other American Indian/Alaska Native residents of El Dorado County, California. The key products and services to be delivered include: 1) Implementing medication-assisted treatment and linkages to psychosocial and recovery support services in primary care settings; 2) Creating recovery-supportive communities through recovery events and meeting spaces; and 3) Providing prevention and education services, including training on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and social determinants of health, as well as overdose recognition and naloxone administration for first responders and tribal members. The project aims to serve at least 250 unduplicated individuals annually.
