The Health Resources and Services Administration is accepting applications for the Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Recovery Loan Repayment Program. Eligible individuals who provide direct treatment or recovery support to patients with or in recovery from a substance use disorder at a Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Recovery Loan Repayment Program-approved facility can receive loan repayment assistance through the Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Recovery Loan Repayment Program.

In exchange for loan repayment, you must provide six years of full-time employment that involves direct treatment or recovery support to patients with, or in recovery from, a substance use disorder at a Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Recovery Loan Repayment Program-approved facility. The facility must be located in either (1) 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 of 32.6 per 100,000 people, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, OR (2) in a Health Professional Shortage Area designated for mental health.
