State getting $5.7 million to fight substance abuse


U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell announced Monday that Kentucky will receive a total of $5,715,141 to continue addressing mental and substance-use disorders.
According to a news release, the federal funding, distributed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, was signed into law as part of the targeted COVID-19 rescue package, the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, McConnell negotiated and led to enactment in December.
Elizabethtown-based Communicare will receive $2,855,492 for its mental and behavioral health services in the Lincoln Trail region, including Breckinridge, Grayson, Hardin, LaRue, Marion, Meade, Nelson and Washington counties, the release said.
“Communicare intends to establish a Community Behavioral Health Center and expand services in our Elizabethtown location,” Dan Simpson, Communicare CEO, said in the release. “This will include direct services for mental health and substance abuse, along with 24-hour crisis intervention, and health screening for HIV and HCV disease. These funds will also be used to develop and maintain agreements with designated collaborating organizations, to provide psychiatric rehabilitation, primary health screening and monitoring, and services to members of armed forces and veterans.”
