State Opioid Response Grants - The Maryland State Opioid Response IV initiative is designed to take a strategic and targeted approach to increasing access to and enhancing the reach and capacity of prevention, treatment and recovery support services for individuals with an opioid use disorder (OUD) and/or a stimulant use disorder.

This initiative will intentionally target regions and populations with the greatest risk and need for OUD and stimulant use disorder services by reducing gaps in the SUD/OUD continuum of services throughout the state of Maryland.

The Maryland SOR IV program aims to serve a total of 888,900 (Yr 1: 286,224; Yr 2: 301,118; Yr 3: 301,558) individuals through prevention, treatment, and recovery services by the end of the project.

Aligned with SAMHSA funding priorities, the Maryland SOR IV initiative aims to achieve the following goals and objectives:

Goal 1. Reduce opioid-related overdose deaths by providing access to medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and other evidence-based treatment and recovery services specifically targeting high risk populations and communities.

Objective 1. Individuals enrolled in SOR funded treatment and recovery services with an OUD will be linked to, and receive MOUD treatment.

Objective 2. SOR recipients will receive one or more opioid or stimulant use evidence-informed treatment, recovery, or harm reduction interventions.

Objective 3. Increase the percentage of individuals who receive SOR-funded treatment and recovery services who are from identified high-risk populations or communities.

Objective 4. Individuals who receive SOR treatment and recovery services will exhibit improvement in substance and well-being related outcomes.

Goal 2. Reduce harm caused by the opioid epidemic by expanding the reach and strategically targeting opioid-stimulant related primary prevention, harm reduction, and public awareness efforts.

Objective 1. Increase the number of naloxone doses and training with a focus on target distribution to high risk and under-resourced communities.

Objective 2. Increase the number of local harm reduction organizations operating in high-risk communities.

Objective 3. Increase the number of individuals who access evidence-informed, low-barrier harm reduction services.

Objective 4. Increase the number of public awareness campaigns related to the dangers of opioid and stimulant misuse, and the availability of prevention, treatment, and recovery services across Maryland.

Goal 3. Increase awareness and adoption of trauma-informed (TI) and healing-centered principles and practices.

Objective 1. SOR-funded programs will be trained on and administer the TIOA.

Objective 2. SOR-funded organizations will develop a trauma informed action plan.

Objective 3. SOR-funded partner organizations will demonstrate improvement in the adoption and implementation of trauma informed and healing centered practices.

Goal 4. Enhance SOR data collection, analysis and use of data to inform system and program planning, implementation, and the targeting of resources.

Objective 1. Develop and distribute at least four data-focused tools to inform program planning and continuous improvement efforts.

Objective 2. SOR treatment and recovery providers will either meet GPRA enrollment and follow-up interview targets of 80 percent or demonstrate improvement in meeting data collection targets.

Objective 3. Establish a learning community program for SOR partners and funded organizations.
