This $499,998 federal Project Grant award, provided by the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under CFDA program 93.243 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance, supports the Southern Indian Health Council, Inc. (SIHC) in delivering a range of substance abuse treatment, harm reduction, and recovery services to the Native American community in San Diego County, California.

Key services under this award include operating an outpatient Opioid Treatment Program (TOR Program), providing Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), distributing Naloxone (Narcan) for overdose reversal, offering fentanyl test strips, and delivering culturally-appropriate healing services like sweat lodges and traditional bird singing. The award also funds training for community members on recognizing and responding to opioid overdoses. This comprehensive approach aims to address the significant substance abuse and overdose challenges impacting SIHC's service area, which has seen notable increases in opioid, fentanyl, and psychostimulant mortality rates in recent years.
