Purpose
Individuals with OUD and STUD face heightened vulnerability for overdose when disconnected from treatment. Research shows that SSPs can be effective at both engaging individuals in treatment and providing harm reduction services to individuals who, for whatever reason, are not engaged in treatment or are still using drugs.
Therefore, the goal of the SSP with MOUD grant is two-pronged:
- Provide harm reduction services in a mobile, and, if feasible, brick-and-mortar settings to prevent overdose-related death and related harms.
- Facilitate access to high-quality, low-threshold SUD treatment services for District residents who are ready to engage or re-engage in treatment.
