រដ្ឋកាលីហ្វ័រញ៉ា វិនិយោគ១០លានដុល្លារ ដើម្បីជួយប្រជាជនដែលមានបញ្ហាការប្រើប្រាស់សារធាតុ​​ 

SACRAMENTO — As part of California’s ongoing efforts to combat the overdose epidemic, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) awarded more than $10 million to 25 DHCS-licensed nonprofit, residential substance use disorder (SUD) treatment facilities throughout the state. This funding continues California’s support of community organizations on the ground, doing the day-to-day work of caring for and supporting people struggling with SUDs.​​ 

លោកស្រី Michelle Baass នាយិកា DHCS បានមានប្រសាសន៍ថា “វិបត្តិថ្នាំ opioid គឺជាបញ្ហាសុខភាពសាធារណៈ ហើយមូលនិធិនេះផ្តល់ការគាំទ្រចាំបាច់ រួមទាំងថ្នាំសង្គ្រោះជីវិត និងសេវាកម្មសំខាន់ៗ ដល់អ្នកដែលកំពុងតស៊ូជាមួយនឹងការញៀន និងអនុញ្ញាតឱ្យសហគមន៍របស់ពួកគេគាំទ្រដល់ការជាសះស្បើយរបស់ពួកគេ”។​​ 

The funding supports SUD treatment facilities with costs associated with startup, recruitment, mentorship, and training programs to increase provider knowledge and comfort with prescribing Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT).​​

WHAT COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS ARE SAYING:​​ 
“This funding is critical to the overall impact we have on our clients’ treatment, long-term recovery rates, and risk of overdose,” said Tara Tebbs, Project Manager for Progress House, a round one awardee. “It’s allowed us to provide a more immersive treatment experience for those we serve and increase retention in our treatment program.”​​ 

“Funding the expansion of evidence-based medication treatment options for opioid use disorder is critically important to address substance use disorders in the community and our current crisis of overdose deaths,” said Taylor Nichols of Cache Creek Lodge, Inc., another round one awardee.​​

This project is funded by the state General Fund and is part of DHCS’ broader efforts to increase access to MAT, reduce unmet treatment needs, and reduce opioid overdose-related deaths through the provision of prevention, treatment, and recovery activities. For more information, including the list of awardees, please visit the MAT Access Points webpage.​​ 

HOW WE GOT HERE: In 2018, Senate Bill (SB) 992 was enacted to prevent those with an opioid use disorder receiving MAT from being denied admission to a residential treatment facility. To further boost the availability of prescribed MAT in California, Governor Newsom approved SB 184 (2022), which requires treatment facilities to either offer MAT directly to clients or have an effective referral process in place with narcotic treatment programs, community health centers, or other MAT providers.​​ 

BIGGER PICTURE: In March 2023, Governor Newsom released the Master Plan for Tackling the Fentanyl and Opioid Crisis to fight the opioid crisis by preventing overdoses and supporting Californians struggling with SUDs. The plan includes ongoing investments to DHCS’ Naloxone Distribution Project, grants for education, testing, recovery, and support services, increased fentanyl test strip distribution, and funding for overdose medications for all middle and high schools in California.
