Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Site-Based Program
First, the program aims to reduce opioid misuse and the number of overdose fatalities.
Second, the program supports the implementation, enhancement, and proactive use of Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs
To address these goals, the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Site-Based Program, administered by BJA, provides funding through a competitive grant program to encourage and support comprehensive cross-system planning and collaboration among officials who work in law enforcement, pretrial services, the courts, probation and parole, child welfare, reentry, PDMPs, emergency medical services and healthcare providers, public health partners, and agencies who provide substance misuse treatment and recovery support services.
Funding is available to develop and implement strategies to identify and provide treatment and recovery support services to ?high frequency? utilizers of multiple systems (e.g.
health care, child welfare, criminal justice, etc.) who have a history of opioid misuse; expand diversion and alternative to incarceration programs; expand the availability of treatment and recovery support services in rural or tribal communities by expanding the use of technology-assisted treatment and recovery support services; implement and enhance prescription drug monitoring programs; and develop multi-disciplinary projects that leverage key data sets (e.g.
de-identified PDMP data, naloxone administrations, fatal and non-fatal overdose data, drug arrests, etc.) to create a holistic view of the environment and develop interventions based on this information.
The Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) component of the program provides training and technical assistance to state and local criminal justice and substance abuse treatment agencies, prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs), and their partner agencies in sites selected through the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Site-based solicitation.
The Department of Justice enforces the law and defends the interest of the United States, ensuring public safety against threats foreign and domestic; providing Federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime; seeking just punishment for those guilty of unlawful pursuits; and ensuring fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans.
