Program summary
Synopsis
The purpose of this project is to improve access to MAT in DHCS-licensed residential SUD facilities. This will be done by supporting costs associated with recruitment, mentorship, training, and other associated costs to increase provider knowledge and comfort with providing MAT through a collaborative learning opportunity for facilities to implement best practices.
The Opioid Response Project utilizes various funding sources, including state and federal resources, to support organizations throughout California in addressing the opioid crisis by supporting and expanding prevention, education, stigma reduction, harm reduction, treatment and recovery services for people with opioid use disorder (OUD), stimulant use disorder, and other SUDs. Eligible applicants may choose between one of two tracks. This funding opportunity will provide support for recruitment, mentorship, training and learning collaboration regardless of which track is selected. Track One: Initiating MAT Services This track is for DHCS-licensed residential SUD facilities that have IMS certification or will receive IMS certification within six months of the project start date, but do not currently have a MAT prescriber onsite or do not offer MAT services onsite. This funding is intended to be used for bridge and startup costs to allow for growth, scalability and sustainability of MAT services provided within the facilities. Facilities with 16 beds and under may apply for up to $250,000 Facilities with 50 beds and under may apply for up to $350,000 Facilities with 51 beds and over may apply for up to $550,000 A majority of project funding should be dedicated to increasing the infrastructure and staffing capacity of facilities to provide opioid treatment services. This funding may be allocated, for example, to the one-time purchase of applicable equipment and material supports, as well as training and expanded capacity for direct treatment providers. Please note that facilities that do not currently have IMS certification will be required to work with the Center of Excellence on developing an application to DHCS for IMS certification. This is to ensure that applicants receive technical assistance and support from the Center of Excellence on developing and submitting high-quality applications that can be approved within the timeframe of the project. Facilities with IMS certification are not required but are highly encouraged to seek technical assistance and guidance from the Center of Excellence in expanding access to MAT within their facilities. Track Two: Expanding Existing MAT Services This track is for DHCS-licensed residential SUD facilities with IMS certification that already have DEA Schedule III Prescriber(s) onsite and want to increase the expertise of the current MAT prescribers and expand services. Facilities with 16 beds and under may apply for up to $250,000 Facilities with 50 beds and under may apply for up to $350,000 Facilities with 51 beds and over may apply for up to $550,000 Grantees funded under Track Two are not required but are highly encouraged to seek technical assistance and guidance from the Center of Excellence in expanding access to MAT within their facilities.

Government Grants Consulting
