Indiana State Opioid Response 4 - the State of Indiana Seeks to Apply for State Opioid Response Grant Funding to Address the Substance Use Crises Affecting Many Hoosiers Statewide. Since the Beginning of Governor Eric Holcomb’s Administration in 2017, He Has Called for an “All Hands-On Deck” Approach to the Growing Drug Crisis in Indiana. The Holcomb Administration Has Made Addressing the Drug Crisis One of the Pillars of His Next Level Agenda . The Population of Focus for the State Opioid Response 4 (Sor 4) Grant Includes Individuals Across the Lifespan Who Are 1) at Risk for Developing Opioid Use Disorder (Oud) or Stimulant Use Disorder (Stud), 2) at Risk of Overdose Injury or Death Due to Opioid or Stimulant Use, and 3) in Need of Treatment and Recovery Resources for Oud and Stud. Government Performance and Results Act (Gpra) Data for the Sor 2 and 3 Grants Included 3,520 Individuals with an Opioid-Related Diagnosis and 2,582 with a Stimulant or Cocaine Use Disorder Reported at Intake. Based on Information Gathered for the Needs Assessment, Using the Samhsa’s National Survey on Drug Use & Health (Nsduh) from 2021-2022, 13.26%, Approximately 758,000, of Indiana’s Population Over the Age of 12 Are Estimated to Have Used an Illicit Substance in the Month Prior to the Survey. The Same Survey Estimates 18.07%, Approximately 1,032,000, of the Surveyed Population Have Experienced Some Type of Substance Use Disorder in the Past Year. According to the Indiana Department of Health (Idoh), in 2022, There Were 2,064 Recorded Overdose Deaths in the State of Indiana.

IN 2022, According to Idoh, There Were 6,729 Reported Emergency Department Visits Due to Any Type of Opioid and 16,694 Visits Due to Any Drug. During the State Opioid Response 4 Grant Period, Indiana Will Address the Ongoing Opioid and Stimulant Crisis by 1) Focusing on the Lack of Fidelity Monitoring for Indiana Providers Trained in and Implementing Evidence-Based Practices (Ebp) for Substance Use Disorders; 2) Increasing the Number of Addiction Professionals Within the State Providing Treatment and Recovery Services to Those Suffering from Oud and Stud; 3) Increasing Access to Evidence-Based Treatment and Recovery Resources to All People in Indiana with Oud or Stud; 4) Decreasing the Total Number of Drug Overdose Deaths in State; and 5) Addressing the Needs of Underserved Populations, Including the Aging Population, Throughout Indiana.
