IBH Addiction Recovery is sharing an important update regarding federal funding tied to our planned Integrated Pathways to Recovery initiative.
On January 13, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) terminated hundreds of grants supporting mental health and addiction treatment, totaling nearly $2 billion in funds rescinded across the country. IBH Addiction Recovery was notified that the federal grant we were awarded through SAMHSA was part of that termination. While this decision was unexpected, we immediately began assessing the potential impact on our services and advocating for the importance of this work.
We are encouraged to share that the grant funding has been reinstated. This reversal allows us to move forward with planning and implementing our Integrated Pathways program, which is designed to expand access to recovery housing and provide coordinated treatment and support services for individuals with substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health disorders.
At the same time, we remain cautious. The recent developments highlight the uncertainty that can accompany public funding and the possibility of future changes. While we are grateful for this reinstatement, we are also mindful that continued advocacy and strong community support remain essential.
IBH Addiction Recovery remains steadfast in our commitment to providing compassionate, evidence-based care and to building recovery pathways that offer stability, dignity, and hope. Our focus continues to be on the individuals and families we serve and on ensuring that recovery services remain accessible when they are needed most.
We will continue to monitor developments closely, communicate transparently, and advocate for policies and funding that recognize addiction recovery and mental health services as critical to our community's health.
Thank you for your continued trust, engagement, and belief in this work. Your support and partnership strengthen our ability to remain resilient and mission-focused, even during uncertain times.
