SUPPORT Program’s Qualitative Needs Assessment
About the Grant: On October 24, 2018, the Substance Use Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment for Patients and Communities (SUPPORT) Act became federal law. Under section 1003 of the SUPPORT Act, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), along with Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), is conducting a 54-month demonstration project titled, 9“Demonstration Project to Increase Substance Use Provider Capacity.” Fifteen state Medicaid authorities, including the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS), received 18-month planning grants ($50 million total) to conduct comprehensive needs assessments of state infrastructure and provider capacity, among additional activities, to deliver substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery support services to state Medicaid members.
All SUPPORT programming (Substance Use Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment for Patients and Communities) is supported by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of a financial assistance award totaling $4,706,184 with 100 percent funded by CMS/HHS.
