Michigan Opioid Partnership Receives Opioid Settlement Funds for ED MOUD
In 2024, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services awarded the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan’s Michigan Opioid Partnership $1 million from the Opioid Settlement Funds. We will utilize this funding to further the work around the ED MOUD Initiative in three ways:
- Continue to offer free technical assistance,
- Develop and provide free trainings and written materials, and
- Convene a stakeholder workgroup to make policy and procedural recommendations that will improve the long-term financial model and practice of ED MOUD.
With support from the Michigan Health & Hospital Association (MHA) Keystone Center, New Detroit, Public Sector Consultants, and our Clinical Consultant team, these efforts will engage medical professionals, funders, and state and local partners to improve access to treatment and care in the emergency department for those with opioid use disorder.
