Background
Ohio’s Opioid State Targeted Response (STR) Project goals focus on building a community system of care (prevention, early intervention, treatment, and recovery support) that emphasizes service integration between physical health care, emergency health care, behavioral health care, criminal justice, and child welfare. Strategies and activities undertaken for this effort build upon Ohio’s on-going efforts to address the opioid epidemic and are designed to reduce overdose deaths and enhance the ability of individuals with opioid use disorder to receive treatment using evidence-based approaches. This focus represents a high-impact opportunity to strengthen Ohio’s comprehensive response to the state’s opioid issues.
In year two of the CURES STR grant, OhioMHAS funded six medical residency programs that provided approval of two independent waiver trainers in each residency program and a total of twelve residency MAT trainings. These programs are self-sustainable with the ability to provide MAT waiver trainings for the residency program as well as the community.
