Training and technical assistance can also be geared toward addressing stimulant issues in these communities. It is expected that recipients will facilitate the identification of model programs, develop and update materials related to the prevention, treatment, and recovery activities for opioid use disorder (OUD) and/or stimulant use disorder, and ensure that high-quality training is provided.
