Title: State Youth Treatment-Implementation
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
In the areas related to alcohol abuse and risk for abusing alcohol, Montana's 16-25 year olds have some of the worst outcomes in the country. More than 30,000 transitional aged youth are in need of substance abuse or co-occurring treatment, including Native American youth and older adolescents. Montana is one of the most rural states in the country, and access to evidence based co-occurring and substance abuse treatment is limited. Also, adolescents on Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program often lose health insurance coverage when they turn 18. The Montana Project will address the critical need for providing evidence based care to transitional age youth with substance use and co-occurring disorders by improving the infrastructure for and access to treatment for the population of focus. The project will fund four provider sites, three in central and eastern Montana where access to services is extremely limited, to implement the evidence based practice Interactive Journaling, which is well suited for use with the population of focus and with Native American clients. The sites will also implement a Behavioral Health Home model throughout the course of the project to provide more comprehensive care to the transitional aged youth being served. A minimum of 365 youth in the population of focus will be treated under the Interactive Journaling model over the course of the project period. In addition, grant funds will be used to improve the infrastructure related to serving co-occurring and substance abusing youth in Montana, including bolstering work force development for professionals, addressing policy and funding barriers and better engaging youth and caregivers in designing systems and implementing evidence based care. By the end of the project, the State of Montana will submit a Behavioral Health Home State Plan Amendment to CMS to create sustainable system for reimbursement of comprehensive treatment for substance use and co-occurring disorders

The State Youth Treatment-Implementation project in Maine seeks to improve the state's capacity to increase access to evidence-based assessment, treatment, and recovery supports for youth with substance use disorders, mental illness or co-occurring disorders. The grant will improve the quality of evidence-based treatment and recovery supports for adolescents (age 12-18) and youth in transition (ages 16-25) and improve access to services for families. The target population suffers from alcohol abuse to opioid addiction to abuse of multiple substances and co-occurring disorders. A large proportion of this population needs but is not receiving treatment. Maine did not approve Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, which leaves many young adults without insurance. The goals of the project are to increase by 10% the number of adolescents and youth in transition who are abstinent at discharge; complete treatment; attend school or are employed; increased social connectedness; and have no arrests in the 30 days prior to discharge from treatment. The objectives of this project are to expand and enhance treatment services by funding four agencies to implement evidence-based assessment; involve families, adolescents, and transitional aged youth in policy and program development by convening a new statewide Coalition for Recovery Ready Communities; expanding the qualified workforce by assuring two clinicians and one clinical supervisor in two funded agencies become fully certified to deliver the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach model, and providing training in evidence-based practices for two funded agencies providing medication assisted treatment; disseminating evidence-based practices by providing state wide training and implementing a train the trainer model; developing funding strategies that support evidence-based practices in the current environment and improving interagency collaboration by continuing work with the Interagency Council.

The Office of Youth and Young Adults (OYYAS) proposes a collaborative to improve substance use disorders (SUD) and/or co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders treatment services for Transitional Aged Youth (TAY) ages 16 to 25 and their families. This collaborative implementation initiative will 1) Build on existing interagency collaboration to facilitate change in state systems as these relate to the population of focus with the expansion of evidence based practices (EBPs); 2) Use EBPs to engage TAY that are opioid dependent and/or have co-occurring disorders and their families; and 3) Advance existing financial and workforce development strategies. The selected EBPs to be implemented are the GAIN-Q3 for assessment, and the A-ACRA/ACC and/or Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for interventions in a minimum of four underserved areas with identified need and service gaps. A-CRA/ACC and MAT have been selected to further implement a community based approach to engage the TAY who are most at risk of opioid abuse, relapse, and overdose, and who confront systemic challenges in accessing traditional services. The four selected community based service providers will have proven expertise addressing the identified needs among the TAY and their families. Selected service providers will also participate in an established Massachusetts A-CRA/ACC Learning Collaborative to further expand training, certification, ongoing coaching and fidelity to the model. Staffing will include a full-time SYT-I Project Coordinator and half-time Youth and Family Coordinator that will report to the OYYAS Director. The expected outcomes include treatment engagement in populations with shown health disparities, enrollment in education and/or vocational training or employment, social connectedness and decreased juvenile or criminal justice involvement for participating TAY, and increased rates of abstinence. A total of 205 unduplicated participants and their families will be served.
