Abstract

MaineGeneral received a Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) Implementation grant to further the work of the Substance Use Prevention Expanded Recovery (SUPER) Consortium. Over the course of the three-year grant, the SUPER Consortium: (1) expanded harm reduction work, including naloxone distribution, and (2) increased organizational capacity to treat and prevent SUD through education efforts in healthcare organizations, first responder organizations, community organizations, and schools. The Substance Use Research and Evaluation team at the University of Southern Maine’s Catherine Cutler Institute was contracted to evaluate MaineGeneral’s RCORP grant. This grant summary presentation includes data from community outreach and training grant activities, naloxone distribution, HRSA-required performance measures, and MaineGeneral patient outcomes.
