This funding is to increase access to all forms of medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder.
Status
We issued a grant funding opportunity in early 2023 for programs that offer low threshold access to medication for opioid use disorder, specifically buprenorphine. These programs are designed to reduce barriers to medication for opioid use disorder by having few requirements of patients and offering same-day support services. After care is initiated and when patients are stabilized, they are transitioned to other programs where they receive maintenance buprenorphine. The low threshold programs can offer services in a variety of settings, including hospital emergency departments, mobile treatment units, and pharmacies.
The grant funding opportunity received more applications than what could be funded. By supplementing this grant funding opportunity with opioid settlement funds, we were able to support more projects.
The opioid settlement funds are supporting projects managed by:
- Wisconsin Society of Addiction Medicine
- Milwaukee Health Service Systems
- Quality Addiction Management
- Addiction Medical Solutions
This funding is to facilitate the creation of additional lead agencies (hubs) that provide specialized substance use disorder treatment and support services in partnership with community partners (spokes).
