Two Obama administration officials again asked Congress to approve the $1.1 billion that President Obama has requested to respond to the opioid epidemic, while announcing more than $50 million in grant money for states and American Indian tribes.The Department of Health and Human Services on Wednesday awarded 44 states, four tribes and the District of Columbia a combined $53 million in grants to expand access to treatment for opioid use disorders and ultimately aimed at reducing the number of opioid-related deaths.The various grants being awarded focus on HHS's three priorities for addressing the surge of opioid use in the U.S.: providing training and education to prescribers; increasing the use and access to Naloxone, a drug that can reverse an opioid overdose; and expanding the use of medication-assisted treatment.
