INDIANAPOLIS — The State of Indiana will award $750,000 in grants to support local coalitions across the state in their efforts to combat the drug crisis.
Substance use coalitions in 10 counties will each receive a $75,000 grant to develop, improve and enhance their collaborative, evidence-based treatment and recovery initiatives. Locally, awards were given to Hancock County for Hancock Health and Marion County for INSTEP.
The grants will help coalitions identify gaps in services, measure outcomes, build capacity, and develop recovery-oriented systems of care. Funds to support navigators who provide case management services and guide individuals and families through the recovery process will help communities coordinate public and private services. Reducing barriers to treatment by funding services, including transportation, housing and childcare, the grants will help people with substance use disorder who are engaged in treatment.
