Details:
Since 1999, the opioid epidemic has claimed hundreds of thousands of American lives through successive waves involving prescription opioids, heroin, and more recently fentanyl and other synthetic opioids. Overdose deaths surged during and after the COVID-19 pandemic due to increased isolation, disrupted treatment access, mental health stressors, and the rapid spread of illicit fentanyl.
As Alabama receives opioid settlement funds to support prevention, treatment, and recovery initiatives, continued investment remains essential to sustain and expand these gains. Funding must prioritize services and supports that save lives, reduce substance use, increase education and awareness, and strengthen long-term recovery opportunities across all communities in the state. It is with these purposes in mind that ADMH – with funds allocated by the Alabama legislature and guidance by the Alabama Opioid Settlement Oversight Commission – offers this fourth round of Opioid Grant Funding opportunity.
