The Trump Administration is awarding nearly $1 billion in grants to states and local governments to help fight the opioid crisis.
Pennsylvania has been grappling with one of the highest opioid overdose death rates in the nation, and the Trump Administration is stepping up to address this dire issue. In this episode of the Battling Opioids Podcast, hosts Paul Lazar and JADonnelly break down the significant news that nearly $1 billion in grants are being allocated to states and local governments to fight the opioid crisis.
These funds, secured by President Donald Trump from Congress, aim to bolster treatment and recovery services tailored to local needs. The Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration is channeling $932 million to every state and some U.S. territories, while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will receive $301 million over three years to enhance overdose data tracking. While these grants mark a positive stride, the hosts underscore that much more work remains.
They delve into the efforts of organizations like Geisinger, which is actively reducing opioid prescriptions and opening medication-assisted treatment centers across Pennsylvania. The episode serves as a clarion call for collective action, urging listeners to deepen their understanding of opioid addiction, engage in prevention efforts, and support initiatives aimed at ending this crisis. Tune in to learn how these federal grants are poised to make a difference and how you can contribute to the fight against opioid addiction.
