Franklin County MAT-PDOA - The Franklin County MAT-PDOA is dedicated to connecting adults (18+) living with OUD/SUD in Franklin County, MO to MAT services, behavioral therapies, recovery support services, and psychosocial services in coordination with Certified Peer Specialists (CPSs) to become healthier, recovering members of the community. Missouri consistently ranks among the highest states in the country in overdose deaths. Franklin County continues to see catastrophic local overdose mortality rates, as opioid overdose deaths have climbed 4.3 times from 2009-2017 and plateaued in 2018-2019. Franklin County is number 3 of the 114 Missouri counties in terms of deaths by opioid overdose from 2014-2018, and data reports 43 opioid overdose deaths per 100,000 in Franklin County, which is 50.2% higher than the Missouri average of 21.7 deaths per 100,000. This program will provide medication assisted treatment using FDA-approved SUD medications in conjunction with comprehensive behavioral health treatment. Each participant will receive peer support provided by Certified Peer Specialists; therapeutic interventions provided by behavioral health therapists; on-going case management services; connection to employment services; and coordination with other community resources. Length of engagement in program services will average 12 months based on the individual’s needs. The ability to consistently meet clients where they are is essential, particularly in rural areas like Franklin County where transportation is a significant barrier to health equity. Participants will be screened and assessed using telehealth with a combination of medical and clinical tools. Success will be measured by the objectives set forth in three goals: 1) Increase number of clients with SUD served, engaged, and retained through MAT expansion. 1: 70, 112, 137, 152, & 161 clients will be provided MAT annually for total of 632 over the 5-year project. 2: 60% of clients enrolled in MAT will be retained in treatment and/or support services for 3-month period 3: 60% of clients enrolled in MAT will reduce substance use/maintain abstinence over 6-month period. 2) Improve behavioral and physical health outcomes with SUD through MAT expansion. 1: 70% of clients will have ongoing engagement with a CPS for 3 months. 2: 75% of clients in MAT will demonstrate improved quality of life by 6-month follow up. 3) Increase number of individuals with SUD in wraparound, community-based, and recovery support services provided through CPS and MAT expansion. 1: 75% of clients will demonstrate improved social connectedness by 6-month follow-up. 2: 80% of clients with identified employment need will have linkage to employment by 6-month follow-up.
