The Indiana Commission to Combat Drug Abuse recently launched an
interactive, online Naloxone Administration Heat Map, providing insight into
the location of incidents where naloxone has been administered and reported by
emergency medical services (EMS) providers throughout the state. Developed
through a partnership between the Indiana Management Performance Hub and the
Indiana Department of Homeland Security, the naloxone administration heat map
displays naloxone administrations reported by EMS since Jan. 1, 2014.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
recently awarded up to $215.2 million over five years for justice-involved
individuals who have mental and substance use disorders. These programs are
intended to provide effective treatment services to reduce further criminal
justice involvement and to promote recovery for justice-involved individuals who
have substance use disorders or co-occurring mental and substance use
disorders. Indiana-based recipients include the Marion County Superior Court, Vigo
County Veterans Treatment Court and Clark County Family Treatment Drug Court.
The Laura and John Arnold Foundation (LJAF) is seeking to identify and
help implement evidence-based policies and programs that can reduce the use of
force, arrest, and/or incarceration, and instead connect vulnerable populations
to evidence-based treatment programs. To support this goal, LJAF seeks
proposals for evaluations of (1) emergency response programs for individuals in
moments of crisis, (2) post-crisis stabilization facilities, and/or (3)
treatment programs and services funded by governments or other entities.
Evaluations should focus on outcomes for individuals whose vulnerabilities
include mental illness, substance use disorders and/or homelessness. Click
here to read more about the request for proposal, due Nov. 5.
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) has recently launched the Comprehensive
Opioid Abuse Program (COAP) Resource Center, an online one-stop shop for
information about the COAP initiative. The materials in the COAP Resource
Center will support effective state, local and tribal responses to the opioid
epidemic. It includes educational materials; access to services; support and
resources for prescription drug monitoring; funding announcements; and more.
