Detroit Recovery Project (DRP) is located in Detroit, where it provides substance use disorder treatment and prevention services to Detroit, Highland Park, and Hamtramck residents. DRP has provided services to this tri-city area for over 15 years. The tri-city area is the most populated area of Michigan. It is also the most impoverished, and most likely to experience health disparities. n Detroit Persons Living with HIV (PLWH) is 3.5-fold that of the next highest county.9 In 2018 there were 787 new incidences of HIV and a prevalence rate of 683.1 per 100,000.9,10 Highland Park has the highest HIV prevalence rate in Michigan at 1844.0 per 100,000, and an unsuppressed rate for HIV of 40-54%.9,11 DRP is proposing a new project REDI (Removing barriers, Engagement in care, Decreasing HIV, Increasing access to recovery and care). The purpose of REDI is to increase the number of racial/ethnic minorities that identify as People Who Use Drugs (PWUD) engagement in SUD/COD care for those are at risk for HIV or living with HIV and to decrease new cases of HIV in the Detroit, Highland and Hamtramck area. Five Goals have been identified to achieve this purpose and are in line with the CDC’s Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE). The goals of this project are: Goal 1: Increase the number of individuals that know their HIV and HCV status among racial/ethnic minorities that identify as People Who Use Drugs (PWUD). Goal 2: Decrease new HIV and HCV cases among racial/ethnic minorities that identify as People Who Use Drugs (PWUD). Goal 3: Increase Linkage to Care for HIV positive individuals. Goal 4: Increase Linkage to Treatment for HCV positive individuals. Goal 5: Remove barriers among racial/ethnic minority individuals accessing SUD Increase access to HIV, HCV, and STI treatment. DRP’s REDI will build and maintain relationships with other community providers to address the needs of this population. REDI will also do so using evidence-based practices (ARTAS, POL, SNS), and Peer based services. Over the life of the grant REDI will serve 350 individuals.
