New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse services (OASAS)in partnership with Acacia Networks and The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (The Center) proposes to develop models for integrated care for individuals with opiate use disorders (OUDs). The PIPBHC project has five specific goals: (1) to build comprehensive, integrated care models into three Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs); (2) build practices for identification, intervention, and MAT for OUD into three FQHCs and three mental health clinics; (3) provide whole person care to 2,280 people with OUD in order to improve physical and behavioral health outcomes; (4) document key elements of program implementation barriers and successes and disseminate throughout the State; and (5) make changes in infrastructure and policies in order to increase prevention, health promotion, and integrated care in OTPs, FQHCs, and MHCs. NYS OASAS oversees one of the nation’s largest substance use disorder services systems comprising nearly 1,600 prevention, treatment, and recovery programs, most of which are community-based and acutely aware of the demographic, cultural, and language characteristics of the local populations of focus. OASAS currently oversees 104 OTPs who serve over 41,000 individuals. Acacia Network, the leading Latino integrated care nonprofit in the nation, offers the community, from children to seniors, a pathway to behavioral and primary healthcare, housing, and empowerment. With roots in the Bronx since 1969, Acacia Network is the largest community based, Latino-led health and human services agency in NYS and serves as the holding company for 20 affiliates, including Promesa. The Network’s visionary leaders are transforming the organization to address the triple aim of high quality, great experience at a lower cost through triple integration-health care, housing and community impact. These leaders champion a collaborative environment to deliver vital health, housing and community building services The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (The Center) is a non-profit research, policy, and practice improvement center that is at the forefront of improving substance use disorder treatment in New York.
