Tribal Consultation on Fiscal Year 2019 Opioid Funding

Description

On June 19, 2019, the Indian Health Service initiated Tribal Consultation and Urban Confer on developing an IHS Opioid Grant Program to distribute the Fiscal Year 2019 opioid funding. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 (Public Law 116-6), provided a $10 million increase in the Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program budget line to better combat the opioid epidemic by creating a Special Behavioral Health Pilot Program, modeled after the Special Diabetes Program for Indians.  This session is hosted by the IHS Division of Behavioral Health, in partnership with the IHS Opioid Coordinating Group, and the Heroin, Opioids, and Pain Efforts (HOPE)  Committee.  We invite your input and recommendations to assist us as we a develop a grant program to address opioid prevention, treatment, and recovery.
