Project Grant H79TI087886

The Southern Ute Indian Tribe was awarded a $499,986 Project Grant by 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 goal of the five-year grant is to provide Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to 25 unduplicated Native American patients with substance use disorder in the first year, with an additional 7 new patients per year, at the Southern Ute Behavioral Health Center, Southern Ute Health Center, and Southern Ute Detention Center. The grant will fund the personnel costs of the MAT provider to serve this target population on and around the Southern Ute Indian Reservation in Colorado.
