Abstract
In 2019, Maine’s Department of Health & Human Services received a $2.1 million grant from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) SUPPORT Act, establishing the SUPPORT for ME initiative within the Office of MaineCare Services. The primary goal of this planning grant is to increase MaineCare providers’ capacity to deliver Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery services for Medicaid beneficiaries. In collaboration with Maine DHHS, the Cutler Institute conducted a series of virtual focus groups in Maine as part of a needs assessment for the SUPPORT for ME initative. These focus groups were conducted regionally by Public Health District, with the goal of learning more about access to substance use disorder treatment and recovery services in Maine. For more information, please contact Lindsey Smith at m.lindsey.smith@maine.edu
