犹他州启动「康复犹他」倡议 州议会拨款逾4000万美元统筹戒毒与心理健康
犹他州把戒毒康复、无家可归与心理健康三件事拧成了一股绳。9月21日，州长斯宾塞·考克斯（Spencer Cox）签署第2026-07号行政令，正式启动全州性的「康复犹他」（Recovery Utah）倡议，统筹州政府在成瘾治疗、无家可归救助和严重精神疾病照护上的资源与行动。倡议设定了几项明确目标：把药物致死人数降低25%；把刑满释放人员陷入无家可归的比例降低25%；把严重精神疾病住院床位增加10%；并在2029年前新建15万套住房。为支撑这项工作，犹他州议会已在2026年拨款4,000多万美元。新设立的「康复犹他」理事会成员包括有亲身经历的居民，以及州政府机构、私营部门和信仰组织的代表，目标是让求助者更容易获得治疗、长期支持和安稳居所。考克斯表示，康复是一段个人旅程，但没有人应当独自走完。对于在犹他学习、工作和生活的华人来说，心理健康与成瘾议题并不遥远：遇到困境时，州一级的统筹服务意味着更容易找到治疗入口和后续支持。（来源：犹他州州长办公室）
Utah Launches Recovery Utah Initiative to Coordinate Addiction, Homelessness and Mental Health Response
Utah is tackling addiction, homelessness and serious mental illness as a single challenge. On September 21, Governor Spencer J. Cox signed Executive Order 2026-07 establishing the Recovery Utah Initiative, a statewide effort to coordinate the state's response across treatment, housing and behavioral health. The initiative sets several concrete goals: reducing drug deaths by 25%, reducing by 25% the share of people leaving state custody who enter homelessness, increasing inpatient beds for serious mental illness by 10%, and building 150,000 new housing units by 2029. The Utah Legislature has appropriated more than $40 million in 2026 to support the work. A new Recovery Utah Initiative Council brings together Utahns with lived experience of homelessness and addiction, along with leaders from state agencies, the private sector and faith organizations, to strengthen coordination across public health, public safety, education and economic opportunity. Governor Cox said recovery is a personal journey, but no one should have to walk it alone. For Chinese students, workers and families living in Utah, mental-health and addiction struggles are not distant issues: a coordinated state system means treatment and long-term support should be easier to find in a moment of crisis.
