AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - The Maine Health Access Foundation is awarding up to $800,000 in grants in an attempt to increase access to addiction care for underserved people.
The foundation says the main focus of the grants will be to increase medication-assisted therapies. It says it wants to link more people to treatment with Suboxone in conjunction with counseling.
The grants will come in the form of $50,000 planning grants and $100,000 implementation grants. The money will be delivered over two years.
