About this opportunity

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is announcing the availability for fiscal year (FY) 2011 funding for the Prescriber’s Clinical Support System for the Appropriate Use of Opioids in the Treatment of Pain and Opioid-related Addiction. The purpose of this grant is to develop a free national mentoring network that will provide clinical support ( clinical outcomes and training) to physicians, dentists and other medical professionals in the appropriate use of opioids for the treatment of chronic pain and opioid-related addiction. This initiative will help SAMHSA address the Nation’s major concern about the morbidity and mortality that have been caused by misuse/abuse and fatal drug interactions involving opioids used in the treatment of addiction and chronic pain. SAMHSA presently collaborates with the Office of National Drug Control Policy, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Drug Enforcement Administration, National Institute on Drug Abuse, and Food and Drug Administration, as well as with State agencies in addressing the rising methadone- and opioid-related mortality. The collaborative trainings of these agencies, coupled with an increase in requests for consultation and assistance from State authorities and practitioners in the field, have created a need for SAMHSA to evaluate and address the causes of the increase in mortality associated with the medical and non-medical use of methadone and other opioids. While data strongly suggest that most of the increase in methadone-associated deaths is related to the rapid increase in the prescription of methadone for treatment of chronic pain, there is a widespread public perception that diversion of methadone from OTPs and OTP clients, and inappropriate client care in some OTPs, are major reasons for the rise of methadone-related mortality. This perception not only damages attitudes toward methadone maintenance treatment, which has been demonstrated scientifically in numerous studies to be the most effective treatment for opioid addiction, but also undermines public support for treatment generally. Therefore, SAMHSA has a strong interest in and responsibility for helping ensure that methadone, whether prescribed for pain management or dispensed for the treatment of opioid dependence, is being used appropriately by physicians who have been trained in the latest evidence-based practices. The target population for this initiative includes prescribers (physicians, dentists) and other health professionals working in SAMHSA-certified OTPs as well as those prescribers using opiate-based therapy for chronic pain. While methadone mortality remain a major concern, SAMHSA is equally concerned about the use of opioids in general. The results from recent SAMHSA national surveys (National Survey on Drug Use & Health, Drug Abuse Warning Network-Emergency Departments) suggest that other opioids, including others are abused and misused at increasing rates. Unlike methadone, these other opioids cannot be used for addiction treatment and are indicated for the treatment of pain. In addition, these opioids are prescribed by a variety of practitioners – nurse practitioners, physician others. Finally, the number of prescriptions for opioids for chronic pain has increased dramatically over the last decade. The training and clinical support provided under this initiative will address the specific complexities that are inherent in opioid-based therapy and the ways in which those complexities affect the appropriate care of individuals being treated for chronic pain and opioid-related addiction. SAMHSA has demonstrated that prevention works, treatment is effective, and people recover from mental and substance use disorders. Behavioral health is an essential part of health service systems and community-wide strategies that work to improve health status and lower costs for governments.
