The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) administers the State Targeted Response to the Opioid Crisis (STR) and State Opioid Response (SOR) grant programs. These grants aim to address the opioid crisis by increasing access to treatment, reducing unmet treatment need, and reducing opioid overdose related deaths through the provision of prevention, treatment, and recovery activities for opioid use disorder (OUD) in the States. States received a total of $500 million for each of FY 2017 and FY 2018 through STR. Additionally, in FY 2018, States received an additional $1 billion in new funding through the SOR grants. In FY 2019, States received $1.5 billion through SOR. Eligible applicants for both STR and SOR are the State alcohol and drug agencies.
