Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Recovery Loan Repayment Program

The purpose of the Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Recovery Loan Repayment Program is to recruit and retain medical, nursing, behavioral health providers and paraprofessionals who provide direct treatment or recovery of support for patients with or in recovery from a substance use disorder. Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Recovery Loan Repayment Program participants must provide services in either a county (or a municipality, if not contained within any county) where the mean drug overdose death rate per 100,000 people over the past three years for which official data is available from the state, is higher than the most recent available national average overdose death rate per 100,000 people, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or in a Health Professional Shortage Area designated for mental health.
