Texas Targeted Opioid Response - SOR22 TI-22-05 - One in four Texans has experienced an opioid overdose or knows someone who has. The Texas Targeted Opioid Response (TTOR) is a public health initiative with a mission to save lives and provide life-long support to Texans with opioid and stimulant use disorders by expanding access to prevention, integrated treatment, and recovery support services.

TTOR projects will serve 16,157 people in year one and 44,754 people over its two-year grant life. It is anticipated that by September 2024, 75 percent of people with opioid use disorder (OUD) will enter evidence-based medication for opioid use disorder services, and the number of reported lives saved from opioid overdose will increase by 20 percent.

TTOR projects serve the entire state with a particular focus on three groups at increased risk for OUD, harmful stimulant use, and resulting consequences: 1) people living in rural/remote areas, 2) people using multiple substances, and 3) people with historically low access to services.

Four values guide TTOR implementation across the continuum of care: collaborative, accessible, evidence-informed, and holistic. These core values provide a framework for services that meet communities where they are and ensure positive outcomes for all Texans.

Prevention programming connects communities to resources throughout Texas, raising awareness about prescription opioid misuse, distributing the life-saving overdose reversal drug naloxone, and stopping substance use disorder before it starts.

Integrated services implement prevention, treatment, and recovery strategies in community, clinical, and criminal justice settings to improve care for people.

Treatment expands the capacity of physicians and clinics across Texas to offer evidence-based treatment to support people struggling with opioid and stimulant use disorders.

Recovery increases the availability and effectiveness of support services for people in long-term recovery by expanding access to equitable recovery housing, employment services, and peer support groups.
