North Carolina State Opioid Response
This SAMHSA grant provides additional funds to address the opioid crisis by increasing access to medication-assisted treatment using the three FDA-approved medications for the treatment of opioid use disorder, reducing unmet treatment need and reducing opioid overdose related deaths through the provision of prevention, treatment and recovery activities for opioid use disorder (OUD) (including prescription opioids, heroin, and illicit fentanyl and fentanyl analogs). These grants were awarded to all states and territories via formula for the period of September 30, 2018 through September 29, 2020.

SAMHSA requires that grant-funded staff at provider agencies collect client level data using the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) tool at intake/baseline, six months post intake and at discharge. Please use the following links for additional information on how to administer the GPRA.
