The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation was awarded a $870,140 federal Project Grant under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) program, administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The grant, with a start date of September 30, 2024 and end date of September 29, 2029, will fund the Tribal Opioid Response (TOR) program. The TOR program aims to significantly reduce substance use disorder within the tribal community, particularly opioid misuse among adults and youth, through comprehensive treatment, recovery support services, and culturally responsive programming. Key components include increasing access to evidence-based treatments such as medication-assisted treatment and behavioral therapies, as well as enhancing community-based recovery support services and youth prevention activities. The program emphasizes a multifaceted approach integrating prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery efforts to foster community resilience and promote long-term wellness.
