Training & Work Continues at Ohio SUD-COE, Despite Federal Cuts

In a communication released in May, leaders from the Ohio Substance Use Disorder Center of Excellence (SUD-COE) informed partners and stakeholders that pauses in federal funding have had significant impacts on their work. While some of their activities have been paused, they were writing to inform stakeholders that training activities through the SUD-COE continues.

• Current Training Registration through the SUD-COE is available here.
• Current resources through the SUD-COE are available here.

Leadership from the SUD-COE also shared recent performance indicator documents, showing success that exceeded their own expectations, that included needing to institute a waitlist for training opportunities, serving over 400 unique organizations in 2025 alone, training over 1,100 professionals in February of 2025 alone.

Considering their continued growth in demand and success, the SUD-COE is continuing to partner with the State of Ohio and partners at OhioMHAS to return to the full execution of their shared mission and vision for the center. In the meantime, the SUD-COE Advisory Committee will reconvene for their regularly scheduled July 23rd meeting.
