(here is one item related to opioids)
Understanding that the pandemic has been a stressor on mental and
behavioral health, the FY22 budget invests $175.6 million for
substance use disorder and intervention services provided by the
Bureau of Substance Addiction Services. It also invests $12.5 million
to support a student telebehavioral health pilot, public awareness
campaigns, loan forgiveness for mental health clinicians, and
initiatives to mitigate emergency department boardings for individuals
in need of behavioral health support, as well as $10 million for
Programs of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT) grants to provide
intensive, community-based behavioral health services for adolescents.
