Application Deadline: Mar 7, 2023

Sponsor

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)

Purpose

Offers funding to states, nonprofits, American Indian and Alaska Native tribes, and tribal organizations to expand access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). The desired program outcomes are to decrease illicit opioid drug use and prescription opioid misuse and increase the number of individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) receiving MOUD, including those from racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender minority communities.

Proposals must implement the following required activities:

Provide MOUD using at least one of the medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the maintenance treatment of OUD in combination with comprehensive psychosocial services, counseling, behavioral therapies, recovery support services (RSS), and other clinically appropriate services.
Conduct an appropriate clinical assessment to establish the diagnosis and severity level of OUD, identify a recommended level of care, and develop an individualized treatment and recovery plan.
Check the state, county, or local prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP), where available, for each new patient admission in compliance with any relevant state rules or regulations.
Conduct screening and assessment for co-occurring substance use and mental disorders and the delivery or coordination of any services determined to be necessary for the individual patient to achieve and sustain recovery.
Develop outreach and engagement strategies to increase access to MOUD for diverse populations at risk for OUD and monitor inequitable access to different medications across these populations.
Ensure all applicable practitioners working on the project obtain any federal, state, or other required training on substance use disorder (SUD) and/or OUD for the prescribing of buprenorphine.
Build funding mechanisms and service delivery models with rural and resource-limited counties and municipalities, organizations such as health plans, integrated health systems, universities, hospitals, including emergency departments, clinics, community based organizations, law enforcement, community recovery organizations, faith-based organizations, and/or other local coalitions in order to provide a robust suite of treatment and RSS that effectively identify, engage, and retain individuals in OUD treatment and facilitate long-term recovery.
Use telehealth services, or other innovative interventions, to reach, engage, and retain patients in treatment.
Provide RSS, including peer recovery support services and culturally specific organizations, designed to improve access to and retention in MAT and facilitate long-term recovery.
Support harm reduction services, education, and supplies for individual organizations or in collaboration with community-based organizations.

Funds may also be used for program infrastructure development activities, including developing partnerships with providers, workforce development, training, and policy development, if needed, to implement proposed services.
