Project Grant H79TI088865

The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration awarded the Hoopa Valley Tribe $400,000 on September 30, 2026, under the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment Projects of Regional and National Significance program (CFDA 93.490) to expand substance use disorder treatment and recovery capacity in the tribe's operational adult and joint-jurisdiction family Healing to Wellness Court.

The Hoopa Valley Tribe will deliver seven-day assessment, medication access for opioid and alcohol use disorder through K'ima:w Medical Center, peer recovery support, trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, contingency management, family services, and culturally grounded healing interventions to a remote Northern California tribal community. The program will serve no fewer than 45 unduplicated direct clients per year across a five-year performance period ending September 29, 2031—225 clients total—across an adult docket (justice-involved adults 18 and older) and a family docket (parents of children age five and younger in or at risk of dependency). Additional family and household members will be reached through engagement, naloxone training, and recovery supports. The service population exhibits opioid, methamphetamine, and alcohol use disorders with high rates of co-occurring depression, anxiety, and PTSD; the Hoopa Valley Reservation and the Klamath-Trinity region of Humboldt and Del Norte Counties experience opioid-overdose death rates many times the state average and sit entirely within federally designated health professional shortage areas.

Performance takes place in Hoopa, California (zip code 95546), on the Hoopa Valley Reservation, the largest reservation in California at approximately 141 square miles.
