Tribal Opioid Response Grants (Short Title: TOR) provide funding to address the overdose crisis in tribal communities by increasing access to FDA-approved medications for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) and supporting comprehensive, culturally appropriate prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery support services for OUD and co-occurring substance use disorders. Funds may also be used to address stimulant misuse and use disorders, including cocaine and methamphetamine.
