Oklahoma’s Comprehensive Plan for Substance and Mental Health Services was supported in part by a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SM-05-009) Cooperative Agreements for Mental Health Transformation Grants (John Hudgens, Principal Investigator).
Oklahoma considers this an initial framework and plan that will be dynamic, ever-changing, and continuously responsive to the needs of people seeking and utilizing services.
Many Oklahomans across the state volunteered their time to participate in focus groups. Representatives from several state agencies also provided information and discussed concerns about mental health and substance abuse services. The Innovation Center is appreciative of the efforts of all who contributed to the Plan.
