Description

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2017 Targeted Capacity Expansion: Medication Assisted Treatment - Prescription Drug and Opioid Addiction (MAT-PDOA) grants. The purpose of this program is to expand/enhance access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) services for persons with an opioid use disorder seeking or receiving MAT. This program targets states identified with having the highest rates of primary treatment admissions for heroin and opioids per capita and includes those states with the most dramatic increases for heroin and opioids, based on SAMHSA’s Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS): 2007 – 2014. The desired outcomes include: 1) an increase in the number of admissions for MAT; 2) an increase in the number of clients receiving integrated care/treatment; 3) a decrease in illicit opioid drug use at six-month follow-up; and 4) a decrease in the use of prescription opioids in a non-prescribed manner at six-month follow-up.

Eligibility

As the 2017 Omnibus requires, eligibility is limited to the states with the highest rates of admissions, including those that have demonstrated a dramatic increase in admissions for the treatment of opioid use disorder. See Appendix E for a list of eligible states. The application must be submitted by the Single State Agency (SSA) for Substance Abuse within the state. FY 2015 MAT-PDOA grantees funded under announcement TI-15-007 and FY 2016 MAT-PDOA grantees funded under announcement TI-16-014 are not eligible to apply for this program.
