View Award Description

The purpose of the Massachusetts State Opioid Response (SOR) program is to enhance our capacity to address the ongoing opioid crisis in Massachusetts. - While the number of opioid-related overdose deaths in Massachusetts has declined an estimated 5% from its peak in 2016, indicating smalls sign of progress; Massachusetts stills loses almost 2,000 people per year to opioid overdose with a number of high-risk populations and communities still disproportionally impacted. According to preliminary data, there were 2,023 confirmed and estimated opioid-related overdose deaths in 2019. Additionally, in the first nine months of 2019, cocaine was present in approximately 45% of opioid-related overdose deaths. With SOR funding the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH), the applicant organization, will serve individuals affected by the opioid crisis including individuals who use stimulants, specifically targeting these high risk populations: communities of color, individuals who have experienced a prior overdose, youth and families impacted by the opioid crisis, persons with history of incarceration, pregnant and parenting women, individuals experiencing homelessness, individuals at risk of contracting and/or currently living with infectious disease, people who use stimulants alone and/or with other drugs, and persons with co-occurring disorders. MA DPH will ensure that funds are directed at the most marginalized populations and address systemic racial and ethnic disparities in access to SUD services. We seek to serve 11,200 individuals annually over the two-year project period through implementing the following activities: 1) Prevention and intervention services for youth and families; 2) Overdose prevention and harm reduction services including Post Overdose Support Teams to outreach to people who have overdosed; 3) Opioid Treatment Program (OTP)/Office-Based Opioid Treatment (OBOT) enhancements to increase access for historically underserved populations; 4) Expansion of opioid treatment access initiatives such as Hub and Spoke/Collaborative and Transitional Models of Care; 5) Treatment and recovery support services for individuals with criminal justice involvement that includes MAT induction, treatment and recovery planning; 6) Programming targeting pregnant and parenting women and their families that includes wrap-around supports, peer recovery coaching, and access to MAT; 7) Recovery supports including recovery housing, rapid rehousing, and the Access to Recovery program which facilitates client choice by providing voucher-based options and life skills training to support recovery goals; and 8) Expansion of developmentally appropriate recovery supports for youth and young adults. We also propose to: 9) Enhancements to existing state data analysis and reporting capabilities and improvements to web-based platforms to disseminate timely and accurate information to address the opioid crisis; 10) Implementation of wide-spread workforce development capacity building and training activities targeting a variety of sectors and audiences; and 11) Development and expansion of strategic communication and media campaigns targeting high-risk populations and high-need geographic regions in the Commonwealth to increase knowledge about addiction, decrease stigma, and improve awareness on how to prevent overdose and how to access treatment and recovery supports. We anticipate the MA SOR grant activities will improve, expand, and enhance access to opioid and/or stimulant use disorder treatment, prevent overdose, and support sustained recovery to achieve life-saving results.
