Oklahoma's
mental
health
system
is
centralized
and
primarily
state
funded.
Federal
funding
from
various
sources
comprise
the
majority
of
the
rest
of
the
budget.
Medicaid
is
the
most
important non-appropriated
funding
source for
individual
client
services.
In
recent
years,
federal
categorical
grants,
which
are
generally
awarded
for
a
specific
project
and
are
time
limited,
have
increased
dramatically
and
currently
account
for
4.6%
of
the
budget
while
federal
block
grants
have
decreased
in
both
actual
dollars
and
as
a
percent
of
the
budget.
