The California Department of Health Care Services, in partnership with The Center at Sierra Health Foundation, announces two separate funding opportunities: Native Medications for Addiction Treatment Network for Healing and Recovery, and the Tribal and Urban Indian Community-Defined Best Practices. Both opportunities offer 24-month contracts for up to $300,000.
To support the integration of opioid treatment services and other harm reduction activities into existing syringe service programs to sustain sites where opioid use disorder treatment services are available, increase the number of syringe service program participants engaged in treatment, and offer related supportive services such as case management and peer support.
To increase access to medications for opioid use disorder in rural areas, for individuals who have been arrested or incarcerated, for Indigenous and Native communities, for patients without transportation, and to places that do not have a narcotic treatment program near patients who need those services, through the expansion of medication units and mobile narcotic treatment programs across the state.
