HHS Releases Request for Comment on Chronic Disease of Addiction

The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) invites public comment in response to this RFI on the research, development, programs, and policies that have been most successful in improving availability of and access to effective prevention, treatment, and recovery interventions for addiction, mental illness, and co-occurring substance use and mental disorders.

The purpose of this RFI is to identify research, programs, and policies that have been successful and recommend novel policy ideas and gaps in research that could be addressed and implemented to further the Great American Recovery using existing funding. FORHP’s Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) is cited as a current initiative helping HHS meet these goals.

Comment by July 5.
