UTICA, N.Y. — The Oneida County Department of Mental Health is seeking opioid-response proposals and will award $1 million for prevention, treatment, and recovery projects.
Applicants can submit proposals for projects that address a variety of areas for treatment, prevention, and other strategies. They can include treating opioid-use disorder, addressing the needs of criminal justice-involved persons, preventing over-prescribing of opioids, training, and research.
The county established its opioid response to fund local projects that have positive impacts on the social determinants of health affected by the opioid crisis. Priority areas include harm reduction, treatment, investment across the service continuum, priority populations, housing, recovery, prevention, transportation, public awareness, and research.
