The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), is accepting applications for the fiscal year (FY) 2023 Preventing Youth Overdose: Treatment, Recovery, Education, Awareness and Training (PYO TREAT) program.
The purpose of this program is to improve local awareness among youth of risks associated with fentanyl, increase access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) for adolescents and young adults screened for and diagnosed with opioid use disorder (OUD), and train healthcare providers, families, and school personnel on best practices for supporting children, adolescents, and young adults with OUD and those taking MOUD. This program will increase services across the spectrum of prevention, treatment, and recovery for youth with, or at risk for, OUD and/or co-occurring disorder (COD) by supporting local efforts to raise awareness about fentanyl, improve access to treatment with MOUD, and enable invested entities to support youth with their treatment and recovery. With this program, SAMHSA aims to address the overdose crisis that continues to adversely affect youth and has led to numerous preventable deaths.
