Details

Purpose:

The California’s State Opioid Response (SOR) IV grant supports the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) Opioid Response Project, which aims to address the opioid and stimulant use disorder crises by improving access to treatment, reducing unmet treatment needs, and reducing opioid and stimulant-related overdose deaths through the provision of prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery service activities.

Description:

Advocates for Human Potential, Inc. (AHP) has been contracted by DHCS to serve as the Administrative Entity (AE) and will implement the CA H&SS program, including organization and distribution of funding; compliance and monitoring, including that related to data collection and submission to UCLA Integrated Substance Abuse Program (UCLA-ISAP) on a quarterly basis for H&SS SOR IV evaluation; Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) data collection and submission to the Aurrera Health Group; and some performance metrics collected by AHP. 

The CA H&SS is a component of the DHCS Opioid Response Project that consists of NTPs (known as Hubs) that are licensed to dispense methadone and other MOUD, and other MAT prescribers (known as Spokes) that primarily provide various buprenorphine formulations and ongoing OUD/SUD care and treatment.

The H&SS SOR IV program will be organized on a regional basis throughout California with a focus on strengthening the relationships between Hubs and their associated Spokes on a local basis, and among H&SS networks regionally. Additionally, the H&SS program will encourage and support sharing of evidence-based and emerging best practices among Hubs and among Spokes respectively on both a regional and statewide basis. Organizations that were grant recipients of previous SOR funding are eligible to apply. All SOR IV funding will be awarded on a competitive basis; new applicants have an equal opportunity for SOR IV grant funding as previously funded organizations.

Both Hubs and Spokes must be able to provide:

-High quality on-site clinical care

-Medication for addiction treatment

-MAT telehealth services

-Outreach to underserved and marginalized individuals with OUD

-Case management

-Direct provision or referrals to mental health care as part of the H&SS programming funded by SOR IV

Note: All SOR IV H&SS grantees will receive free general and tailored technical assistance, training, and targeted funding to help achieve these and other program goals and requirements.
