SAMHSA grants available to expand overdose prevention programs
Primary and behavioral health organizations, state and local governments and others can apply through Feb. 7 for a portion of $30 million from the American Rescue Plan Act to expand community-based drug overdose prevention programs, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration announced today. The agency anticipates making 25 awards of up to $400,000 per year for three years to support efforts such as distributing overdose-reversal medications and fentanyl test strips, providing overdose education and counseling, and managing or expanding syringe services to help control the spread of HIV and hepatitis C.
