The State Opioid Response (SOR) Grants, established in 2018 under the 21st Century Cures Act of 2016, is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) through its Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) to provide grants to states, territories, and tribes, allocating over $7 billion since inception to serve approximately 2 million individuals annually by 2025. Initially funded with $500 million, it has grown to distribute $1.5 billion in FY 2024 across 56 awards, funding services like naloxone distribution, residential treatment, and peer recovery support in communities nationwide.[1] Despite its impact, challenges like funding sustainability and rural service gaps persist (web ID: 7), but it remains a cornerstone of SAMHSA’s opioid response efforts.

Goals

  • Reduce opioid-related overdose deaths and substance misuse through prevention and treatment services.
  • Increase access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and harm reduction strategies.
  • Support recovery and community-based services for individuals with OUD and co-occurring disorders.[2]

Organization

The SOR Grants are managed by CSAT within SAMHSA, overseen by Assistant Secretary Miriam E. Delphin-Rittmon since 2021, with states and territories implementing projects under federal oversight. It operates via annual appropriations, guided by the 21st Century Cures Act and subsequent funding acts like Public Law 117-328 (2022).[3]

History

Authorized by the 21st Century Cures Act of 2016 (Public Law 114-255) and launched in 2018 with $500 million, the SOR Grants expanded with annual appropriations, reaching $1.5 billion in FY 2024.[4] It grew from serving 500,000 individuals annually in 2019 to 2 million by 2025, addressing the opioid crisis with innovations like mobile treatment units (web ID: 7). By 2025, it has awarded over $7 billion, though GAO notes sustainability concerns (web ID: 7).

Funding

Initial funding of $500 million in 2018 supported the program’s launch, with over $7 billion appropriated by 2025 via annual HHS budgets—e.g., $1.5 billion in FY 2024.[5] Ongoing appropriations under the 21st Century Cures Act sustain its operations, with no fixed end as it addresses ongoing opioid crisis needs.

Implementation

SOR distributes grants annually, requiring states to expand OUD services like MOUD and naloxone, tracked via SAMHSA’s Performance Accountability and Reporting System (PARS).[6] It progresses through state partnerships—e.g., 2 million individuals yearly—and service expansions, adapting to opioid needs with no set end, though rural gaps remain a challenge (web ID: 7).
