Grants to West Virginia nonprofits, for-profit agencies, and public agencies for programs that address opioid use disorder. Funding is intended to expand and increase access to evidence-based treatment services. Emphasis will be placed on priority, high-risk populations including people who inject drugs (PWID); individuals reentering the community from incarceration; pregnant, postpartum, and parenting women (PPW); lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning/queer (LGBTQ) individuals; and military veterans.
SOR aims to address the opioid crisis and prevent opioid use disorder (OUD) deaths by:
- Increasing access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using the three FDA-approved medications for the treatment of opioid use disorder,
- Reducing unmet treatment need, and
- Reducing opioid overdose related deaths through the provision of prevention, treatment and recovery activities for OUD (including prescription opioids, heroin, and illicit fentanyl and fentanyl analogs).
The specific purpose of this AFA is to increase access to, expansion of, and retention in evidence- based treatment for individuals with OUD within the state. Priority consideration will be given to proposals that reduce barriers to treatment by 1) expanding MAT services to individuals in underserved areas and areas experiencing significant opioid overdose deaths (rate greater than 25 persons per 100,000); 2) increasing coordination among OUD early intervention, treatment and recovery resources; and 3) increasing capacity for immediate access to evidence-based treatment. A separate AFA focused on recovery and peer services will also be released; however, connecting recovery resources to treatment services is viewed favorably in this AFA, particularly as it relates to how it improves seamlessness of experience of treatment care for individuals with OUD.
