View Award Description

State of Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health Opioid Strategic Response Grant - The opioid crisis in Nevada can be classified as a public health epidemic. Nevada's Governor has been instrumental in bringing awareness to the crisis, convening state and national experts to develop policy and practice to address the issues, and supporting the implementation of prevention, intervention, and treatment solutions. In 2015, Nevada expanded access to naloxone, requiring use of the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, and the implementation of a Good Samaritan Law. In 2017, Nevada will establish prescribing standards of care, increase education for prescribers, and monitoring of overdose related emergency room and inpatient admissions. The expansion of Medicaid has made healthcare widely available to individuals who previously did not have access. Opioid treatment programs remain under capacity for the numbers of individuals they are capable of providing treatment to. Yet despite these efforts and resources, the epidemic continues to grow. Nevada consistently demonstrates some of the highest rates of drug overdose mortality in the country. Data shows that Nevada has one of the highest rates of prescription painkillers sold and drug overdose deaths per capita. Nevada's vast geography and healthcare provider shortage make a challenging environment to implement community based strategies. Stigma and lack of knowledge about available services prevent individuals to seek treatment and physicians from linking and referring individuals to OUD treatment and recovery supports despite availability. This project will address the needs of its communities and establish a recovery-oriented system of care using the Collaborative Opioid Prescribing Model, overdose response and treatment engagement programs, overdose education and naloxone distribution, prescriber education and expansion of office based opioid treatment, recovery communities and peer supports, enhanced data collection, and information sharing while maximizing resources including Medicaid reimbursement.
