Population to be served: The Maniilaq Service area includes the 12 communities of the Northwest Arctic Borough and Point Hope, AK. The population is primarily Alaska Native. A remote and roadless region of the arctic, residents face compounded stresses on social determinants of health: economic distress, minimal infrastructure (physical and social), as well as legacies of intergenerational trauma and high incidents of adverse childhood experiences. The project builds on previous SAMHSA support in order to expand access to Maniilaq Association's comprehensive addiction services which now include intensive outpatient therapy and medication assisted therapy (MAT), as well as piloting low-threshold services and expanded peer supports. The project has three goals: 1) expand village-based access to MA-SUD services; 2) improve MA-SUD services through coordination of MA SUD service providers across MA Administrative divisions; and 3) expand awareness of, and perceived efficacy of MA-SUD services. The project is anticipated to increase participation in services growing additional client numbers over the life of the project and accounting for a total project increase in clients served of 120 after 5 years.
