Letter from the Assistant Secretary

I am pleased to present the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) fiscal year (FY) 2020 Budget Request. SAMHSA is requesting a total of $5.6 billion. As the primary federal agency responsible for addressing the mental and substance use disorders that affect millions of Americans, SAMHSA takes seriously its responsibility to ensure that the best, most evidence-based care is reaching all communities in our nation. Now, more than ever, we must ensure individuals living with these conditions gain access to high quality prevention, treatment, and recovery services. Consistent with the goals of the 21st Century Cures Act, SAMHSA's budget demonstrates a commitment to addressing pressing public health challenges, including the opioids crisis and serious mental illness (SMI). This budget aligns with the Administration's priorities to address mental and substance use issues for children, adults, families, and communities. Through a sustained focus on implementing evidence-based practices, SAMHSA's budget aims to improve the lives of people across the country. SAMHSA's FY 2020 budget request includes investments to:

? Expand access to care for opioid use disorders (OUD) through continued investment in FDA-approved pharmacotherapies for OUD, also known as Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) in conjunction with psychosocial supports, expanded community supports, and strategies to prevent opioid abuse through evidence-based prevention approaches, including the use of the life-saving opioid overdose antidote, naloxone

? Prioritize ensuring that individuals with SMI gain access to care over incarceration through increased investments in evidence-based programs, such as Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) and Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT), jail diversion programs, and a focus on addressing the needs of high utilizers of services through the Community Mental Health Services Block Grant

? Expand Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) services that provide integrated mental health, substance use, and physical healthcare to those living with SMI, offer 24/7 crisis intervention services and provide access to wrap-around, evidence-based interventions that will support community living for those affected by mental and substance use disorders

? Make critical investments in children's mental health programs, including essential school-based supports, to ensure our nation's schools provide a positive and safe learning environment for America's youth

? Improve access to suicide prevention services and strategies for youth, transition-aged youth, and adults at risk for suicide

In FY 2020, SAMHSA maintains a strong commitment to enhancing the delivery of clinically sound, evidence-based, effective services. SAMHSA continues to streamline its business operations, including the provision of technical assistance and training, to ensure an optimization of service provision across America's communities. The work SAMHSA does is vital to the heath of this country. I am confident this budget supports SAMHSA's mission to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness on America's comm unities.
