View Award Description

Recovery and Empowerment to Combat Opioids deliVered by telEhealth and collaboRation across Iowa (RECOVER-IA) - The University of Iowa Addiction and Recovery Collaborative (UI ARC) at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) will implement the Recovery and Empowerment to Combat Opioids deliVered by telEhealth and collaboRation across Iowa (RECOVER-IA) project to provide resources to help expand and enhance access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) to individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) throughout the State of Iowa. OUD treatment services will be provided to at least 240 unduplicated patients using evidence-based practices during the 5-year project. Goals and objectives include 1) Increasing the capacity to provide MOUD in Iowa. Education and training will be provided for health care providers about OUD treatment and harm reduction, including DEA X-waiver trainings for 150 providers; presentations for 150 providers to encourage application allowing them to prescribe buprenorphine to up to 30 patients at a time; and education about OUD and MOUD for 75 pharmacists. RECOVER-IA will launch and operate a TeleMAT-IA helpline to offer low barrier access to MAT and establish a mobile MAT clinic, the Iowa MAT Mobile, to travel to rural areas of Iowa to provide substance use screening, MAT care, education, and outreach. During the project, UI ARC will become an accredited and certified Opioid Treatment Program and begin providing methadone. 2) RECOVER-IA will increase the number of Iowans with OUD receiving MOUD and improve patient outcomes including reduction in opioid and other drug use, reduction in injection drug use, increase patient recovery capital, and increase patient quality of life and satisfaction. 3) Reduce drug use and harms associated with substance use among people with OUD by screening all patients for HIV and hepatitis C and providing treatment and referral for those who test positive. Patients will receive information about harm reduction including safe use kits, overdose education, prevention, and access to naloxone. A contingency management program will be implemented for individuals with OUD and stimulant use disorder. 4) RECOVER-IA will build a team of specialists and provide recovery supports for individuals with OUD or other substance use disorders, including parents in recovery and people with co-occurring post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We will hire an additional Case Manager and Peer Recovery Support Specialists. Transportation assistance will be provided for patients experiencing transportation barriers. The project will partner with the IA Center for School Mental Health to provide counseling to parenting participants to strengthen OUD recovery and parenting skills. We will train providers to deliver the Seeking Safety curriculum to individuals with OUD and PTSD. Information, expertise, and partnerships achieved through this project will ensure the sustainability of MAT in Iowa, including rural areas, following the five years of grant funding.
