Working with Communities
To provide training and technical assistance via local experts to enhance prevention, harm reduction, treatment (especially medications like buprenorphine, naltrexone and methadone) and recovery efforts across the country addressing state and local – specific needs.
To build on existing efforts, enhance, refine and fill in gaps when needed while avoiding duplication and not “recreating the wheel.”
The SAMHSA-funded Opioid Response Network (ORN) assists states, tribes, organizations and individuals by providing the resources and technical assistance they need locally to address the opioid crisis and stimulant use.
Technical assistance is available to support the evidence-based prevention, treatment, recovery and harm reduction of opioid use disorders and stimulant use disorders.
