Advancing Substance Misuse Prevention and Early Intervention Through School Medicaid

There are many ways to leverage Medicaid funding to offer substance use prevention and other early intervention services in schools.

The Healthy Schools Campaign will develop and disseminate educational resources and provide technical assistance to states to help them encourage school-based services such as SUD screening, counseling, and referrals to treatment.
