INDIANAPOLIS — The state of Indiana was recently awarded a two-year grant of $18.1 million per year from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for opioid treatment services.
The funds will enable the state to expand evidence-based prevention, treatment and recovery services. In addition, money for recovery housing and medication assisted treatment.
Additionally, the Indiana State Department of Health has been awarded a nearly $3.5 million grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to advance the understanding of the opioid epidemic and to scale up prevention and response activities as part of the CDC’s Public Health Crisis Response. ISDH will use the one-year grant, which runs until Aug. 31, 2019, for a variety of activities to improve surveillance and data collection, increase awareness of the opioid epidemic, analyze drugs involved in overdoses and support local health departments engaged in harm reduction efforts.
