Under the President’s $1.1 billion proposal to help Americans with opioid use disorders who want treatment get the help they need, States would receive funding based on the severity of the epidemic in their communities and the strength of their strategy to respond to it. The final funding amounts will depend on these factors and Congressional action. www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2016/06/29/white-house-releases-estimated-state-opioid-treatment-funding-levels
