HHS increases access to substance use disorder treatment! New funding and guidance will help states combat opioid use disorder

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today announced new steps to increase access to substance use disorder treatment services, focusing on treatment for opioid use disorder. With today’s announcement, HHS is making additional funding available to states and community health centers to expand the use of medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder, and is releasing guidance to help states implement innovative approaches to substance use disorder treatment.

Medication-assisted treatment is an evidence-based, comprehensive way to address the needs of individuals that combines the use of medication with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders. According to a study conducted by researchers at the Food and Drug Administration, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the rate of past-year opioid abuse or dependence significantly exceeded treatment capacity each year, increasing from 634.1 per 100,000 in 2003 to 891.8 per 100,000 in 2012.
