Communication from the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (pursuant to Section 2YYYY of Chapter 29 of the General Laws) submitting its quarterly report on expenditures from the Substance Use Disorder Federal Reinvestment Trust Fund (SUD Trust Fund) that support the components of the roadmap for behavioral health reform

This document is a formal report submitted by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services to state legislative committees detailing how money from the Substance Use Disorder Federal Reinvestment Trust Fund was spent between 2018 and 2022. The report explains that the fund, which is financed by federal reimbursements and other contributions, was used to expand specific substance use disorder treatments, including residential rehabilitation for people with co-occurring mental health issues, medication for addiction treatment, and peer support services. It provides a financial breakdown showing that while the fund's balance grew significantly during this period due to increased federal revenue, spending also rose steadily to support the launch and growth of these new programs. The report concludes by noting that the fund is expected to be depleted by 2027 as the state continues to invest in existing services and introduces new initiatives to improve access to care.
