The Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention and Recovery (IDHS/SUPR), submits this application in response to SAMHSA FOA # TI-20-012, SOR-II. Through this SOR-II grant, IDHS/SUPR will provide a comprehensive array of SUD evidence-based prevention, treatment and recovery support services that build upon the knowledge and learnings gained through the 2017 STR Grant, and the 2018 SOR-I Grant. Evidence of the multiple impacts of the opioid and stimulant crisis among Illinois residents is provided: increased primary opioid clients among IDHS/SUPR-funded treatment admissions, increased need for medication assisted treatment (MAT) for persons with opioid use disorder (OUD), increasing numbers of opioid overdose deaths, increasing numbers of persons using methamphetamines and other stimulants, and increasing numbers of opioid-related overdose reversals. The services supported and expanded through this SOR-II grant include: certification training on the Community Reinforcement Approach combined with Contingency Management; community-based linkage and referral services provided by peer outreach workers; Methamphetamine evidence-based treatment; Regional SUD Leadership Centers to create a sustainable network of care; access to MAT Hub and Spoke services; hospital screening and warm hand-off services provided by hospital staff; integration and increased MAT services provided by Federally Qualified Health Centers; MAT integration within criminal justice-involved population; county jail-based screening and warm handoff; housing stabilization for persons with OUD; recovery support digital toolkit; enhanced treatment services for pregnant and postpartum women with OUD; recovery housing services for persons with OUD; increased support for Buprenorphine prescribers; and, expansion of the Illinois Opioid Helpline. The prevention services that are proposed include: Naloxone purchase, training, and distribution services in counties of high need, through OTPS, and in areas with opioid overdose spikes; enhancements to the Illinois Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP); Illinois prevention provider contracts to support implementation of the OUD-focused Generation Rx program for adolescents; and, expansion of our statewide opioid awareness campaign. A data collection plan is provided that describes data collection, management, analysis, and reporting in response to federal requirements. This includes administration of the SAMHSA/CSAT GPRA tool to our unduplicated count of at least 5,000 persons served over the two years of funding at admission, six-month follow-up, and at discharge from services. A process and outcome performance measurement plan will be implemented. The organizational experience, resources, and qualifications of IDHS/SUPR and our major partner organizations are described. Biographical sketches for the Illinois SSA, the Project Director, the Project Coordinator, and other grant staff are provided. A line-item budget and narrative justification is proposed for $36,764,508 for each of the two years of this SAMHSA funding opportunity.
