The grants will go to several initiatives, including mobile clinics providing medication for opioid use disorder and efforts to integrate medication treatment into primary care, according to a March 6 news release from HHS. 

The agency will also fund rural recovery services and social supports, including housing, employment training and other social determinants of health. 

Applications for funding will be accepted through May 6.

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
