TEXAS STATE OPIOID RESPONSE - PROJECT ABSTRACT SUMMARY  ONE IN FOUR TEXANS HAS EXPERIENCED AN OPIOID OVERDOSE OR KNOWS SOMEONE WHO HAS. THE TEXAS TARGETED OPIOID RESPONSE (TTOR) IS A PUBLIC HEALTH INITIATIVE WITH A MISSION TO SAVE LIVES AND PROVIDE LIFE-LONG SUPPORT TO TEXANS WITH OPIOID AND STIMULANT USE DISORDERS BY EXPANDING ACCESS TO PREVENTION, INTEGRATED, TREATMENT, AND RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES. TTOR PROJECTS WILL SERVE 38,337 PEOPLE IN YEAR ONE AND 111,295 PEOPLE OVER ITS THREE-YEAR GRANT LIFE. TTOR PROJECTS SERVE THE ENTIRE STATE WITH PARTICULAR FOCUS ON THREE GROUPS AT INCREASED RISK FOR OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD), HARMFUL STIMULANT USE AND RESULTING CONSEQUENCES: 1) PEOPLE USING MULTIPLE SUBSTANCES, 2) PEOPLE LIVING IN RURAL/REMOTE AREAS, AND 3) PEOPLE WITH HISTORICALLY LOW ACCESS TO SERVICES. PREVENTION PROGRAMMING CONNECTS COMMUNITIES TO RESOURCES THROUGHOUT TEXAS, RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT OPIOID MISUSE, DISTRIBUTING THE LIFE-SAVING OVERDOSE REVERSAL DRUG NALOXONE, AND STOPPING SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER BEFORE IT STARTS. INTEGRATED PROJECTS WORK WITH ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE RAPID, SHORT-TERM SERVICES TO PEOPLE WITH OUD AND THEN ARRANGE LONGER-TERM CARE THROUGH OTHER, MORE SPECIALIZED OPTIONS. TREATMENT EXPANDS THE CAPACITY OF PHYSICIANS AND CLINICS ACROSS TEXAS TO OFFER EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT TO SUPPORT PEOPLE WITH OPIOID AND STIMULANT USE DISORDERS. RECOVERY INCREASES THE AVAILABILITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF SUPPORT SERVICES FOR PEOPLE IN LONG-TERM RECOVERY BY EXPANDING ACCESS TO HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT, AND PEER SUPPORT SERVICES. BY SEPTEMBER 2027, TTOR PROGRAMS WILL: REDUCE THE NUMBER OF TEXANS, 12 YEARS AND OLDER, REPORTING OPIOID MISUSE IN THE PAST YEAR BY 10,000 ON THE 2024-2025 NSDUH REPORT. INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ENTER MEDICATION FOR OPIOID USE DISORDER (MOUD) THROUGH NON-TRADITIONAL SETTINGS FROM INTEGRATED PROJECTS BY 20 PERCENT. MAINTAIN RATE OF 73 PERCENT OF PEOPLE RECEIVING STATE-FUNDED TREATMENT FOR OUD WHO RECEIVE MOUD. RETAIN AN ESTIMATED 1,000 PEOPLE IN RECOVERY WHEN THEY RECEIVE LONG-TERM RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES AT THREE YEARS POST-TREATMENT, COMPARED TO RECEIVING TREATMENT ALONE. INCREASE THE NUMBER OF REPORTED LIVES SAVED FROM OVERDOSE BY 30 PERCENT OVER THE ANNUAL TOTAL REPORTED FOR 2024.
