Purpose

The Medication Assisted Treatment - Prescription Drug and Opioid Addiction (Short Title: MAT-PDOA) program provides funding to expand or enhance access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD).

Required activities include:

  • Provide MOUD with at least one of the FDA-approved medications in combination with comprehensive psychosocial services, counseling, behavioral therapies, recovery support services (RSS), and other clinically appropriate services
  • Conduct clinical assessment to establish the diagnosis and severity level of OUD based on DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and with information necessary to identify a recommended level of care and develop an individualized treatment and recovery plan using a shared decision-making approach
  • Check the state, county, or local Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP), where available, for each new patient admission in compliance with any relevant state rules or regulations
  • Conduct screening and assessment for co-occurring substance use and mental disorders and develop a plan to either deliver or coordinate any services determined to be necessary to address any identified co-occurring disorders
  • Develop and implement outreach and engagement strategies to increase access to MOUD and related services for diverse populations with OUD
  • Ensure all applicable practitioners working on the project obtain any federal, state, or other required training on substance use disorders and/or opioid use disorder for the prescribing of buprenorphine
  • Build funding mechanisms and service delivery models with rural and resource-limited counties and municipalities
  • Use telehealth services, or other innovative interventions, to reach, engage, and retain patients in treatment
  • Provide or develop formal partnerships to provide RSS, including peer recovery support services and culturally-specific organizations, designed to improve access to and retention in care with MOUD and facilitate long-term recovery
  • Provide harm reduction services on site, either singularly or in collaboration with a community-based harm reduction organization
