The Connecticut Institute for Communities, Inc. (CIFC), a federally qualified health center, was awarded a $1,100,000 Project Grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) Community Health Centers program (CFDA 93.224) to expand access to mental health services and medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder over a two-year period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026.
The grant funding will be used by CIFC to add new healthcare providers and increase the role of its existing primary care providers in prescribing FDA-approved medications for opioid use disorder treatment. This will help CIFC continue to develop a comprehensive approach to behavioral health services that improves patient access to treatment, recovery, and support services that address underlying social risk factors. The goal is to increase the number of patients receiving both mental health services and substance use disorder treatment, including medication-assisted therapy.
