NASADAD Develops Resource Document Summarizing Final Fiscal Year 2025 Funding for Federal Substance Use Disorder Programs
NASADAD has developed a comprehensive resource summarizing final Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 funding for key federal programs related to substance use disorders (SUD).
As you recall, Congress opted to pass a year-long continuing resolution (CR), as opposed to a traditional omnibus bill, that, in general, provided level funding for federal government agencies and programs for the remainder of FY 2025, which runs through September 30, 2025. President Donald Trump signed the CR, the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (H.R.1968/P.L. 119-4), on March 15, 2025. This full-year CR included FY 2025 appropriations and a few provisions reauthorizing certain expiring SUD prevention, treatment, and recovery federal programs.
The document includes a chart that summarizes final FY 2025 funding for SUD programs housed within the following federal agencies:
- Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
- Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
- Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services (SUPTRS) Block Grant
- Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT)
- Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP)
- Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS)
- National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)
- National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
- Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)
- Administration for Children and Families (ACF)
- Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
- Department of Justice (DOJ)
- Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP)

NASADAD Releases Updated Fact Sheet on SAMHSA’s Pregnant and Postpartum Women’s (PPW) Residential Program and State Pilot Program
Today, NASADAD is releasing an updated fact sheet, originally produced in 2021, and most recently updated in 2023, that provides an overview of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’ s (SAMHSA) Pregnant and Postpartum Women’s (PPW) Residential Program and State Pilot Program. The fact sheet “tells the story” behind the PPW Residential Services Program and the evolution of the PPW State Pilot Program- an initiative that NASADAD helped develop with Congress through the Comprehensive Addiction Treatment and Recovery Act (P.L. 114-198). This round of updates to the fact sheet includes the latest available outcomes data, recent grantees, and recent Congressional action related to both programs.
Substance Use Workforce Crisis: Drivers, Challenges, and Promising Strategies
As the demand for substance use services grows, the need for a strong, sustainable workforce has never been more urgent. A new issue brief developed by NASADAD, The Substance Use Workforce Crisis: Drivers, Challenges, and Promising Strategies, explores the systemic issues fueling the workforce shortage and highlights innovative solutions being implemented across the country.
The brief outlines promising approaches—from creating pathway programs and increasing compensation to integrating peer professionals and improving organizational culture. It presents actionable strategies to grow and sustain a skilled workforce and features real-world examples of how these strategies are being applied in states and communities nationwide to strengthen recruitment, retention, and professional advancement.
Importantly, the brief emphasizes that addressing workforce challenges requires a long-term, sustained commitment. Policymakers, states, providers, and stakeholders are encouraged to invest in comprehensive workforce development plans that reflect the essential role of substance use professionals in prevention, treatment, and recovery support.
