PROJECT ABSTRACT Cook Inlet Tribal Council, Inc. (CITC) proposes its FY 2022 Medication-Assisted Treatment: Prescription Drug and Opioid Addiction (MAT: PDOA) project. The project’s overarching purpose will be to expand the accessibility of OUD-focused MAT services in the Mat-Su borough. Ultimately, the project will improve Alaska’s behavioral healthcare system and will reduce SUD and COD prevalence and opioid-related overdose deaths.

The project’s catchment area will be Alaska’s Matanuska-Susitna (Mat-Su) borough, which has an estimated 107,081 residents, 14,052 (or 13%) of whom are AN/AI (race alone or in combination). The project will benefit 80 participants. ¿ Goal 1. Establish formal partnerships between CITC and identified local entities in order to expand the accessibility of OUD-focused outpatient MAT, outpatient detoxification, and other treatment and recovery services in the Mat-Su borough. ¿ Objective 1.1.
