SAMHSA Awards $45 Million to States for Young Adult Sober Housing Under SOR Program
SAMHSA announced more than $45 million in supplemental funding to State Opioid Response (SOR) program recipients to support sober and recovery housing services for young adults. The funding supplements existing state SOR grants to expand residential treatment options for young adults with substance use disorders. States that currently receive SOR funding are eligible to apply for these supplemental awards. The funding addresses a gap in sober housing options for young adults, a population with elevated overdose risk and barriers to traditional treatment settings.
Medicaid managed care organizations with behavioral health contracts will need to coordinate with state-funded sober housing providers and may see increased demand for wraparound services as young adults transition from residential settings.
