Presentation Summary: The purpose of SOR is to address the opioid crisis by increasing access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using the three Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved medications (buprenorphine, methadone, vivitrol) for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD), reduce unmet treatment needs, and reduce opioid overdose related deaths through the provision of prevention, treatment, and recovery support activities for opioid use disorder, including prescription opioids, heroin, and illicit fentanyl and fentanyl analogs. SOR also supports evidence-based prevention, treatment, and recovery support services to address stimulant misuse and use disorders, including for cocaine and methamphetamine.
