## Resource

Maryland’s tough budget cuts hit mental health and addiction services hard—just as progress in curbing overdoses is gaining steam. Starting July 1, vital community programs—like the 988 helpline, recovery support, and case management for those not covered by Medicaid—are being slashed, risking setbacks for vulnerable populations. Despite assurances from state officials that cuts will be made thoughtfully and without further funding this year, the move threatens to undo years of progress, especially in Baltimore. With no tax hikes in sight and a $71 billion budget, the state is forced to balance fiscal realities against life-saving care.
