<br />HIGH-IMPACT OPIOID ABATEMENT STRATEGIES (“OPTION A” List)
<br />In keeping with the National Settlement Agreement, opioid settlement funds may support
<br />programs or services listed below that serve persons with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) or any
<br />co-occurring Substance Use Disorder (SUD) or mental health condition.
<br />As used in this list, the words “fund” and “support” are used interchangeably and mean to
<br />create, expand, or sustain a program, service, or activity.
<br />1.Collaborative strategic planning. Support collaborative strategic planning to address
<br />opioid misuse, addiction, overdose, or related issues, including staff support, facilitation
<br />services, or any activity or combination of activities listed in Exhibit C to the MOA
<br />(collaborative strategic planning).
<br />2.Evidence-based addiction treatment. Support evidence-based addiction treatment

<br />Drug Administration – through Opioid Treatment Programs, qualified providers of
<br />Office-Based Opioid Treatment, Federally Qualified Health Centers, treatment offered in
<br />conjunction with justice system programs, or other community-based programs offering
<br />evidence-based addiction treatment. This may include capital expenditures for facilities
<br />that offer evidence-based treatment for OUD. (If only a portion of a facility offers such
<br />treatment, then only that portion qualifies for funding, on a pro rata basis.)

<br />treatment, recovery support, harm reduction services, primary healthcare, or other
<br />services or supports they need to improve their health or well-being.
<br />4.Recovery housing support. Fund programs offering recovery housing support to people
<br />in treatment or recovery, or people who use drugs, such as assistance with rent, move-in
<br />deposits, or utilities; or fund recovery housing programs that provide housing to
<br />individuals receiving Medication-Assisted Treatment for opioid use disorder.
<br />5.Employment-related services. Fund programs offering employment support services to
<br />people in treatment or recovery, or people who use drugs, such as job training, job skills,
<br />job placement, interview coaching, resume review, professional attire, relevant courses at
<br />community colleges or vocational schools, transportation services or transportation
<br />vouchers to facilitate any of these activities, or similar services or supports.
