The Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Access Points Project is supporting organizations throughout California to address the opioid and substance use epidemic.
The project creates a community of practice that lifts up and makes available racially and culturally responsive population-based and place-based approaches for California’s most underserved communities.
MAT uses medications with counseling to treat the whole person. It is considered the gold standard of care for opioid use disorder. If you are looking for treatment, please visit ChooseChangeCA.org to find a treatment provider near you.
Mobile Narcotic Treatment Programs and Medication Units RFA
The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), in partnership with The Center at Sierra Health Foundation, is funding the expansion of Medication Units and Mobile Narcotic Treatment Programs across the state. This includes efforts to increase access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) for rural areas, for people who have been arrested or incarcerated, for Indigenous and Native communities, for patients without transportation, and to places that do not have a Narcotic Treatment Program (NTP) near to patients who need those services. This 18-month contract will be for up to $400,000 for Mobile Units and $1,000,000 for Mobile Narcotic Treatment Programs.
Applications are due by Monday, February 26 at 1 p.m. PST
