Individuals belonging to populations that lack access to supports and treatment frequently face distinct challenges and obstacles in locating and accessing competent services that are easily navigable and supportive of their substance use disorder treatment and recovery journey. Substance use remains a significant public health concern in North Carolina.
Nearly 10% of North Carolinians aged 12 and older reported past -year illicit drug use in the 2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Though hospitalizations for drug poisonings and overdose have decreased over the past two years, those decreased rates are not distributed evenly across the state of North Carolina. Certain communities in North Carolina continue to experience alarmingly high rates of drug overdose and poisonings.
The need for accessible and competent substance use treatment and recovery services remains critical, especially for projects that address documented gaps in access .
A coordinated system addressing physical health, substance use disorder treatment and recovery, social determinants, community connectedness, and crisis response is critical to meeting the needs of all North The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS) Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Substance Use Services (DMHDDSUS) proposes to use Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services Block Grant (SUPTRS BG) federal funding to help expand access to relevant services and supports across the state of North Carolina that address documented gaps in access .

Integrated Primary and Behavioral Health Providers, Substance Use Disorders Treatment Agencies, Human Service Agencies, Community Organizations, are eligible to apply.

As part of our commitment to robust access to substance use disorder treatment services and supports, we are issuing this Request for Applications (RFA) to solicit applications from organizations that aim to support one or more projects that address priority communities disproportionately impacted by overdose, hospitalizations, or barriers to treatment access .
The impact of COVID -19, natural disasters, and other events continues to exacerbate substance use disorder challenges for individuals, families, and communities across North Carolina. These stressors have contributed to increased rates of substance use, re turn to chaotic use , and overdose as individuals turn to substances to cope with trauma and distress.
Though the rates of overdose and drug poisonings have precipitously declined since 2023 on the whole, certain communities across North Carolina are still experiencing this crisis at alarmingly high rates. According to data gathered by NC DHHS D ivision of Public Health, rates continue to fall for the general population, but continue to disproportionately impact certain communities and counties.
According to the June 2025 report on Emergency Department Visits for Overdose Involving Medications or Drugs with Dependency Potential , male residents of North Carolina who are Native American/American Indian or who are Black are still experiencing hospitalizations at alarmingly high rates compared to the rest of North Carolina’s residents.
The May 2025 Report on Emergency Department Visits for Opioid Overdose shows that the risk for residents who are uninsured or insured through Medicaid is much higher than the statewide rate of emergency department visits for opioid overdose.
Similarly, some of our counties continue to face much high proportional rates than the statewide rate of ED visits for opioid Addressing these challenges requires a coordinated approach to expand access to prevention, treatment, and recovery services, ensuring that all North Carolinians can receive the support they need to rebuild resilience and maintain recovery in the face of ongoing trauma.
Individuals need services and supports that understand their direct context and needs, the needs of their communities, and that can provide effective and responsive interventions to the causes of these disproportionate rates across North The Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Substance Use Services (DMHDDSUS) is committed to expanding access to effective prevention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals with substance use disorders.

A coordinated system of substance use disorders treatment and support services is critical to meeting the growing needs of North Carolinians.
Outreach, training and other resources are needed to ensure that people are connected to effective and impactful services in their communities.
