Sault Tribe Opioid Response Grant (STOPR) - STOPR Project Summary The Sault Tribe Opioid Prevention and Recovery (STOPR) program funded by SAMHSA’s Tribal Opioid Response (TOR) grant is requested by the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians. The STOPR grant will serve tribal individuals with opioid and stimulant use disorder. The STOPR grant includes substance use prevention, community prevention and increased awareness of substance use disorders, harm reduction materials and information, recovery support services, and treatment, which include recovery housing and financial assistance with detox and residential OUD/SUD. This program responds to the Sault Tribe Tribal Action Plan (TAP), which identifies a need for prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery support services. STOPR will fund a project specialist (PJS) who will assist with grant supervision, ensure our grant goals and objectives are met, and collect data to update the TOR Program Instrument and GPRA/SPARS database. A prevention specialist (PRS) who will provide prevention, harm reduction, cultural materials, and naloxone administration training, which will increase awareness and education about substance use and how to lessen the risk of fatal overdoses and stigma in our community, will also be funded through the STOPR grant. The PRS will provide these materials at health fairs, cultural, recovery, and community events. The PRS will also provide an evidence-based educational program, Positive Action, to kindergarten through twelfth-grade students in the seven-county area. A recovery house administrator/full-time recovery coach (RHA/FT-RC) will be funded through the STOPR grant to provide supervision and structure for the two recovery houses, which hold up to six individuals; one house provides services for males and the other for females. Two certified part-time recovery coaches (PT-RCs) will also be funded. RCs will provide additional recovery support services by providing transportation to detox and residential treatment, recovery meetings, and cultural and community events. RCs can provide guidance and encouragement during their time in recovery housing and assist additional members in the recovery community in our seven-county service area as needed. Our STOPR grant plans to serve 31,092 members annually through treatment, recovery support services, prevention, and harm reduction, which includes materials given, events, advertisements, social media outreach, and so on, as well as GPRA/SPARS data. Sault Tribe plans to use a Chronic Care Model (CCM), which will establish recovery support services that will identify barriers to recovery and establish self-advocacy care plans to promote long-term sobriety and Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR). We will use data collection of demographics, progress of goals and objectives, and outcomes of clients' time residing in recovery housing. During the five-year grant period, 09/30/2024 through 09/29/2029, we plan to service 155,460.
