View Award Description

Bringing Resources Individually To Empower Recovery (BRITER) - The Baltimore BRITER (Bringing Resources Individually to Empower Recovery) Program at the Institute for Behavior Resources/REACH Health Services (IBR/REACH) aims to increase engagement in care for vulnerable individuals with substance use disorders (SUD) and co-occurring SUD and mental health conditions (SUD/COD) who are at risk for or have HIV and/or hepatitis C (HCV). IBR/REACH is a large, urban, outpatient addiction treatment center in central Baltimore City providing a range of services, including medication-assisted treatment, to a diverse population of about 600 patients. Approximately 71% of the population is African American, about 10% self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, and close to 44% are female. While opioid use disorder predominates, multiple SUDs are the norm and other health conditions are common. About 10% of the population have known HIV infection, with 40% aware they are hepatitis C positive. Many are unaware of their status. Approximately 75% of patients have personally experienced or witnessed significant trauma as either children or adults, and about 50% of women report high risk sexual activity. The BRITER Program builds on IBR/REACH’s behavioral health home, trauma-informed activities, and LGBTQ competency improvement efforts to intensively expand and enhance services for a total of 250 African-American women and 90 LGBTQ individuals with SUD and/or SUD/COD and at risk for or with HIV/HCV. With adjustments for ramp-up and wrap-up years, the BRITER program will serve 20-25 LGBTQ individuals and 60 African-American women annually. Dedicated BRITER program peer outreach, nurse care management, and medical staff will work on-site and with partner organizations to achieve project goals for behavioral health and HIV and hepatitis C treatment. In alignment with CDC’s 90-90-90 goals, 100% to 90% of patients with HIV will be linked to and engaged in care, respectively. Intensive care coordination and outreach services will also result in 90% and no less than 50% of BRITER program participants with HIV and/or hepatitis C, respectively, receiving pharmacological treatments, with 90% achieving viral suppression. A manual-driven Sexual Health In Recovery intervention along with a tested, mobile PTSD symptom reduction app will reduce high-risk sexual activity and trauma-related distress. Finally, expanded serologic testing capacity will increase awareness of HIV and viral hepatitis status among all patients at IBR/REACH with active substance use disorders and/or high risk sexual activity while improved risk-reduction education will benefit patients who continue to use substances and/or engage in high risk sexual activity and test negative for HIV and hepatitis C/B. With strengths-based, recovery-oriented, and empathic clinical approaches, the project will increase retention in and adherence to behavioral health care, and ultimately improve social and overall health outcomes for vulnerable patients at IBR/REACH.
