The Rainelle Medical Center, a federally qualified health center in West Virginia, has been awarded a $600,000 Project Grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Community Health Centers (CFDA 93.224) program. Through this 2-year grant, the medical center will expand its mental health and substance use disorder services, including the implementation of medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder (MOUD). Specifically, the center will hire additional staff such as a psychiatrist, nurse/case manager, therapists, and a peer support specialist to enhance their behavioral health service capacity and reach an additional 395 patients annually, including 100 mental health and 295 SUD/MOUD patients. This grant aims to address the significant mental health and substance use challenges in the center's 6-county service area, which experiences high rates of poor mental health, depression, suicide, and drug-related fatalities compared to state and national averages.
