The Delaware State Opioid Response (SOR) Grant will strengthen and create sustainable change to address the full continuum of care, from prevention through treatment and recovery, by intensifying and deepening efforts to enhance and develop its system of care and adding additional supports. In FY18, the Delaware Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health (DSAMH) began to address care, access, and treatment gaps through the Substance Use Treatment and Recovery Transformation (START) learning collaborative and the use of the Delaware Treatment and Referral Network (DTRN), a bidirectional referral platform. The project proposal's goals and objectives align with SAMHSA's Strategic Prevention Framework and the Institute of Medicine's Continuum of Care Model, as well as with the START initiative and strategic drivers: 1) Engaging and stabilizing people with behavioral health needs wherever they might be ready to engage, 2) Improving coordination across referrals and transitions, 3) Providing seamless access to care management and social needs that supports mental, physical, social and spiritual well-being, 4) Providing person-centered, peer-supported, long-term treatment support for patients and families in the community, and 5) Building prepared and resilient communities. SOR 2020 funding will support treatment and care improvements statewide, with a focus on the criminal justice population, transition-age youth, pregnant women and families, and populations with a disparate burden of substance use disorder (SUD) and co-occurring mental illness. The aims of the present proposal are to: 1) Continue to build the medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and stimulation use disorder (STUD) treatment capacity, 2) Build additional referral pipelines and "front doors" to treatment, including primary care, 3) Enhance existing treatment and wraparound services and implement new supports specifically for families and transition-age youth, and 4) Strengthen the prevention infrastructure. Enhanced data collection and analysis capabilities will be utilized to understand and refine these efforts in real time. To meet the above goals of this proposal, DSAMH and its project partners will implement a number of evidence-based strategies, including: crisis stabilization, telehealth, virtual social support and engagement, wraparound services to include peer recovery specialists and other services, MAT in emergency departments, behavioral healthcare integration, supports for transition-age youth, education and training around MAT and STUD treatment, supported employment, and parenting and education support. DSAMH proposes serving a total of 2,500 unduplicated clients each year, for a total of 5,000 over two years. This funding will allow Delaware to build sustainable capacity and infrastructure that improves treatment and services in the state after the funding ends.
