Project: State Targeted Response to the Opioid Crisis Grant Program
Reports--NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) is authorized under Section 1003 of the 21st Century Cures
Act, as amended, to support a grant program, for up to 2 years, that
addresses the supplemental activities pertaining to opioids currently
undertaken by the state agency or territory and will support a
comprehensive response to the opioid epidemic. The State Targeted
Response to the Opioid Crisis Grant (Opioid STR) program addresses
Healthy People 2020, Substance Abuse Topic Area HP 2020-SA. The primary
[[Page 31340]]
purpose of Opioid STR is to address the opioid crisis by increasing
access to treatment, reducing unmet treatment need, and reducing opioid
overdose related deaths through the provision of prevention, treatment
and recovery activities for opioid use disorder (OUD) (including
prescription opioids as well as illicit drugs such as heroin).
There are 57 (states and jurisdictions) award recipients in this
program. All funded states and jurisdictions will be asked to report on
their implementation and performance through an online data collection
system. Award recipients will report performance on the following
measures specific to this program: Number of people who receive OUD
treatment, number of people who receive OUD recovery services, number
of providers implementing medication-assisted treatment, and the number
of OUD prevention and treatment providers trained, to include NPs, PAs,
as well as physicians, nurses, counselors, social workers, case
managers, etc. This information will be collected at the mid-point and
conclusion of each grant award year.
Additionally, each award recipient will describe the purposes for
which the grant funds received were expended and the activities under
the program, and the ultimate recipients of amounts provided to the
grantee in the grants.
