State Opioid Response Grant
In 2018, the Louisiana Department of Health was awarded a State Opioid Response grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The grant was among the more than $1 billion in opioid-specific grants SAMHSA awarded nationally at the time.
