HHS Opioid Strategy
March 2015

“Opioid drug abuse is a devastating epidemic
facing our nation. I have seen firsthand, in my
home state of West Virginia, a state struggling
with this very real crisis, the impact of opioid
addiction. That’s why I’m taking a targeted
approach to tackling this issue focused on
prevention, treatment and intervention.
-- Secretary Burwell
HHS Opioid Strategy
March 2015

Three Priority Areas:
• Provide the training, tools and educational
resources that health care professionals
need to make more informed prescribing
decisions.
• Increase the use of naloxone.
• Use medication-assisted treatment to help
lift people out of opioid addiction
SAMHSA Strategic Initiatives
11
 SAMHSA’s opioid activities are included in the
Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness
Strategic Initiative:
•
Goal: Prevent and reduce prescription drug and illicit
opioid misuse and abuse.

“Although [methadone] can be abused, it is rarely a primary drug of abuse. Its
therapeutic effectiveness has been clearly demonstrated…”
Federal Regulation of Methadone Treatment. Institute of Medicine. 1995.
“It is now generally agreed that opiate dependence is a medical disorder and that
pharmacologic agents are effective in its treatment. Evidence presented to the panel
indicates that availability of these agents is severely limited and that large numbers of
patients with this disorder have no access to treatment.”
NIH Consensus Statement on Effective Medical Treatment of Opiate Addiction.
November 19, 1997.
“Medications are an important element of treatment for many patients, especially
when combined with counseling and other behavioral therapies.”

Opioid Use Disorders and
MAT
23
 MAT is a direct service that provides a person who has
an opioid (heroin) use disorder with pharmacotherapy
in conjunction with behavioral therapies as treatment
for associated symptoms or disabilities. Treatment is
individualized.
 Medications include methadone, buprenorphine and
naltrexone. Methadone can only be dispensed at a
SAMHSA certified opioid treatment program (OTP) to a
person with an opioid use disorder

SAMHSA Regulations and
Guidelines for OTPs
24
42 CFR Part 8 sets forth requirements for
OTPs including mandatory accreditation, DEA
registration, state licensure.
 OTPs are expected to provide access to the
full range of FDA approved medications.
 OTPs must provide recovery support directly or via
referral to adequate & accessible community services.
 Peers are recovering individuals who have experienced
the challenges as well as the successes of treatment.
 Peers often have more credibility and impact than nonpeer clinicians.

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for
Prescription Drug and Opioid Addiction:
$13 M
• $12M in FY 2015 appropriation
• Targeted Capacity Expansion—General Program
• Grants to states to focus on high risk communities to

MAT is an important component in sustaining
recovery.
“Medication-Assisted Treatment is a BIG part
of my recovery, but staying sober depends on
more than just medication. I do service work,
go to meetings, stay away from
drugs/alcohol, and surround myself with
supportive people.”1

Recovery: Hope & Hard Work
31
Recovery looks forward; and while it learns
lessons from the past, it does not use the past
as a metric for the present or as a prognosis for
the future.
Recovery focuses on an individual’s strengths;
on housing, employment, and education; on
societal engagement and contribution as well as
support; on wellness; and on holistic health.
Narcotics Anonymous
32
We make a distinction between drugs used by drug
replacement programs and other prescribed drugs
because such drugs are prescribed specifically as
addiction treatment. Our program approaches
recovery from addiction through abstinence,
cautioning against the substitution of one drug for
another. However, we have absolutely no opinion on
methadone maintenance or any other program
aimed at treating addiction.
NA WORLD SERVICE BOARD OF TRUSTEES BULLETIN #29
Regarding Methadone and Other Drug Replacement Programs
Recovery: SAMHSA’s Central Tenets
