Priority Strategies
The prioritized practices are informed by Oklahoma Opioid Abatement Board member recommendations, which include focusing on strategies 1)in observed need of adoption/scaling in Oklahoma; 2) reasonably expected to be implemented effectively by grantees and produce outcomes during the project period; and 3) representing both preventive and treatment options.
- Contingency Management – a substance use disorder treatment approach that rewards clients for treatment and recovery-oriented behaviors like negative drug screening results, adherence to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), and attendance and engagement in group therapy.
- Family Skills Training – programs that can shape youth behavior and create stronger family relationships, reducing the risk of youth substance use, including opioids.
- Integrated Care – integrated care models combine physical health care with mental health and substance use care, emphasizing collaboration among a multidisciplinary team.
- Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) – the front-line, evidence-based approach for treatment of people with opioid use disorder that uses FDA-approved medications often in combination with comprehensive support services like medical care, mental health treatment, addiction counseling, and recovery support.
- Naloxone Distribution – Naloxone is a safe, highly effective medication used to reverse opioid overdoses and save lives. It works by blocking the effects of opioids to quickly restore breathing to someone overdosing.
- School-based Prevention – involves coordinated, evidence-based strategies delivered at schools to prevent or reduce the risk of developing problem behaviors, such as substance use, while promoting protective factors that promote student well-being, health, and academic success.
- Supported Employment – an evidence-based model of supported employment helps people with behavioral health conditions find and sustain employment at jobs of their choice.
- Supported Housing – providing access to safe and stable housing to support people with substance use issues as they start and sustain long-term recovery.
- Other Evidence-based Strategies – another evidence-based strategy that does not fall into one of the named priority strategies may be proposed by an applicant with required justification as determined by the Board.
