The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), is offering the “Improving Access to Overdose Treatment” grant. This grant aims to expand access to FDA-approved drugs and devices for emergency opioid overdose treatment. Funds are available for Federally Qualified Health Centers, Opioid Treatment Programs, or buprenorphine-waived practitioners. Grantees will collaborate with community prescribers to establish best practices for co-prescribing reversal drugs. They will then train healthcare providers, pharmacists, and support individuals on these practices, utilizing resources like SAMHSA’s Opioid Overdose Prevention Toolkit. A crucial component involves developing protocols to link patients who have experienced an overdose with appropriate treatments, including medication-assisted treatment and behavioral therapies. This initiative seeks to reduce opioid-related deaths.
