Opioid Response Network (ORN)
In response to the nation’s opioid crisis, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded a two-year grant and created the Opioid Response Network (ORN) to enhance opioid-related efforts already underway throughout the United States and territories. ORN, led by the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP) with a coalition of 27 national professional organizations, provides training and technical assistance via local consultants across the country. The initiative focuses on applying evidence-based practices in prevention, treatment and recovery to meet locally identified needs.
Funding for this initiative was made possible (in part) by grant no. 6H79TI080816 from SAMHSA.
