Behavioral Health Administration
The state of Colorado received the first State Opioid Response Grant in September 2018 and since then has received over $60 million in federal funding from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The SOR Grant is used to help Coloradans receive services related to opioid use disorder. Currently, the third round of funding will continue through September 2024.
