Rural Communities Opioid Response Program-Impact - Address: 645 S Rogers Street, Bloomington, Indiana, 47403-2353 (Headquarters) Project Director Name: Jennifer Eula Fillmore Contact Phone Numbers: Telephone: 317-535-9020; Fax: 812-954-4378 Email Address: Jennifer.Fillmore@centerstone.org Website Address: https://centerstone.org/locations/indiana/ Requested Grant Program Funds: Rural Communities Opioid Response Program-Impact; $3,000,000 Brief Project Description: Centerstone’s Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (C-RCORP) in Indiana will expand/establish access points for substance use disorder (SUD)/opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment, recovery, and supportive services for 550 individuals (i.e., Y1: 100; Y2: 125; Y3: 150; Y4: 175) residing in 7 rural, southern Indiana counties (i.e., Brown, Owen, Scott, Jackson, Jennings, Jefferson, Lawrence). C-RCORP will leverage a diverse Network comprising the behavioral health care and research, workforce development, opioid treatment, recovery, supportive services, and justice sectors of the SUD service continuum to address area needs. Such needs include high rates of SUD/OUD and related consequences, individuals needing but not receiving services (e.g., treatment), etc. Over 35,600 service area individuals ages 12+ have SUD and nearly 3,900, OUD, including 14,000 adults with co-occurring SUD and any mental illness (COD); 600+ youth (12-17 years) with COD (SUD and major depressive episode); and 3,500+ (age 12+) with pain reliever use disorder. An estimated 26,700+ area residents, ages 12+, need but will not receive SUD treatment and are also expected to need recovery services. Of those ages 12+ with OUD in 2021, only 22% received Medication Assisted Treatment. The area’s estimated 24% of individuals with any mental illness and 6% with serious mental illness are at an elevated risk of developing SUD/OUD in the future, further exacerbating area need. C-RCORP proposes services to address the identified needs of the target population, including community outreach/education and harm reduction; training for area professionals; hiring Peer Recovery Specialists and other clinical providers; expanding/enhancing area Recovery Community Organizations and recovery housing/residences; providing evidence-based prevention and treatment (i.e., CBT, CBT-Chronic Pain, DBT, MOUD, Moral Reconation Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Seeking Safety, Twelve Step Facilitation for COD, Multidimensional Family Therapy) and recovery services (i.e., DIMENSIONS, housing via Housing First, employment according to the principles of Supported Employment); and providing benefits counseling/enrollment and other supportive social services to facilitate long-term recovery for participants. C-RCORP’s target population to be served comprises 50% male; 50% female; 92% White; 1% African American/ Black; and 4% Hispanic/Latino individuals and will include subpopulations that have historically suffered from poorer health outcomes, health disparities, and other inequities from among the 15,859 racial/ethnic minority, 9,000+ sexual/gender minority, 15,000 socioeconomically disadvantaged, and 3,700+ justice-involved individuals, and from among the 13,945 area Veterans.
