State Announces $76 Million in Funding for Crisis Response, Substance Use Disorder Services

Community Mental Health Center, Inc. received $4.9 million.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration’s Division of Mental Health and Addiction is providing new funding to help build and support projects across Indiana to improve mental health and recovery services for Hoosiers.

This includes funding from the federal American Rescue Plan Act and the National Opioid Settlement, and totals more than $76 million.

Of the funding, 15 community mental health centers across the state are receiving $57 million in Crisis Receiving and Stabilization Services grants. These grants will support the advancement of an integrated crisis response system that provides Hoosiers experiencing a mental health and/or substance use crisis someone to contact, someone to respond, and a safe place for help.

Locally, Community Mental Health Center, Inc. in Lawrenceburg was awarded $4.9 million to establish a new, sub-acute Crisis Receiving and Stabilization Services Program to serve youth and adults experiencing crisis in accordance with SAMHSA Best Practices while implementing a No Wrong Door philosophy.
