SACRAMENTO — The Department of Health Care Services or DHCS Jan. 11 awarded $52 million to providers of Medication-Assisted Treatment or MAT services. These funds will support the prevention, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of opioid and substance use disorders, as well as recovery.
As part of the 2023-2024 state budget, Gov. Newsom proposed additional investments to distribute naloxone, provide overdose medication to all middle and high schools, make test strips available, and grants for education, testing, recovery and support services.
Since coming into office, Gov. Newsom has dedicated more than $1 Billion in funding to fight the opioid crisis. Learn more about the statewide efforts here.
Today’s awards, of up to $1,848,000 each to 105 service providers, will fund the development and implementation of opioid and substance use disorder treatment “hubs” and “spokes” throughout California. The “hubs” may be narcotic treatment programs or other MAT providers; the “spokes” are federally approved office-based prescribers.
The timeline for this funding is Jan. 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024. The funding comes from the state Opioid Response III grant, awarded by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
