Abstract
Live free expands mat and related psychosocial services within NH's largest city of manchester, known as the epicenter of the state's drug crisis. Targeting justice-involved individuals with OUD or those at-risk of incarceration, live free includes a robust community education campaign that focuses on reducing stigma and disparities in treatment to improve recovery results. Population of focus (POF): justice-involved individuals with an opioid use disorder (OUD) who are: (1) within 90 days of release from incarceration; or 2) currently on parole or probation; or (3) drug court participants; or (4) identified as at risk of incarceration due to previous or current altercations with law enforcement; and those presenting with OUD-related health crises at the emergency department who are more likely to become justice-involved based on current demographic disparities that are prevalent within the incarcerated population (including lgbtqia+, racial/ethnic minorities, & homeless/living in poverty). Strategies/interventions: to attack capacity gaps and disparities in access to treatment for the POF, live free will implement a comprehensive recovery team approach - providing a cohesive unit to provide mat (buprenorphine, naloxone, suboxone, vivitrol, etc.) and the related psychosocial treatment interventions and wraparound support services needed to prevent relapse/overdose, reduce recidivism, and help these vulnerable individuals be successful on their recovery path. Live free's direct services team will include an advanced registered nurse practitioner to administer mat, a licensed mental health counselor/clinical social worker to provide mental health and substance use assessments, counseling and concurrent treatment referrals; a nurse care coordinator (NCC) to provide "case management" and patient coordination/referral to resources addressing other medical/health needs and social determinants of health, and a peer recovery coach/resource navigator to support clients and accompany them through all phases of their recovery journey, including helping to identify and secure fundamental needs necessary to recovery success, such as employment and safe housing. To improve systemic services relative to OUD, the project partners with makin' IT happen to provide educational forums and outreach targeted toward various community sectors (healthcare, justice system, business, housing/landlords, etc.) to reduce stigma associated with the POF and improve understanding of mat and OUD. A sequential intercept model mapping event will bring different sectors together to identify diversion opportunities to steer those with OUD into treatment VS. Incarceration, and a robust "live free" campaign and mentorship program will encourage, train, mentor, and award doctors and practitioners willing to expand or introduce mat within their practices, to result in increased mat access points throughout the city. Project goals/measurable objectives: to increase availability & access to mat treatment; increase participant retention in mat treatment; increase recovery sustainability; reduce stigma/bias and achieve buy-in through mat education and awareness of disparities. Measurable objectives include: actively target, recruit, and enroll a minimum of 675 highly vulnerable marginalized individuals (lgbtqia+, racial/ethnic minorities, & homeless/living in poverty) to receive mat during 5-YR. Project period, to address disparities/ensure equitable access by meeting or exceeding 62% of total participants; achieve RE-arrest rate 6-months post-release which is 20% lower than those not using moud, 100% of participants will receive case management and wraparound services support, 80% of participants will participate in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapies, and others. Total number served: 1,085 unduplicated people over 5-year project; annual average served: 217
