For several decades AHP has supported federal and state behavioral health agencies with many high-priority initiatives. Our nationally recognized staff are experts in making systems change related to the opioid crisis, with a track record of success in combatting the opioid epidemic. We work with your team to plan and implement in the following service areas:
Provide Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Programs in Community and Correctional Settings
AHP provides expertise and services to plan, deliver, and evaluate MAT programs. We can help you identify the best MAT models for your state/community/institution and provide model protocols, procedures, regulatory material, and pertinent performance measures to give immediate feedback and ensure successful implementation.
Close the Gaps to Better Serve Vulnerable Populations: Projective Population Modeling(TM)
With AHP’s Projective Population Modeling(TM), clients can analyze historic claims, demographic, epidemiological, and other data sources to forecast how specific population characteristics will impact utilization; model how new benefits, services, and evidence-based practices translate into utilization; and identify access and availability gaps in the system of care.
Design and Implement a Robust Recovery Support System
When you work with AHP, we’ll help you identify gaps and resources to best offer recovery supports in your state. From there, we will help you expand access and improve your community-based recovery support services. We analyze what types of recovery supports are available and needed and then provide a range of solutions, from training and technical assistance to developing a comprehensive Access to Recovery (ATR) program.
Collaboration and Coordinate with Key Stakeholders
AHP supports clients in cultivating stakeholder consensus toward the goal of making decisions and facilitating the multiple state agencies that address the needs of individuals with OUD. We help plan, manage, guide, and host virtual stakeholder meetings, ensuring expert, unbiased facilitation. AHP can help states build consensus and develop specialized plans to address their specific needs around the opioid crisis.
Integrate Primary Health, Behavioral Health, and Social Services for OUD Populations
AHP works with clients to assess, identify, and address gaps; create partnerships; and implement successful programs to redesign systems of care and integrate all efforts at the policy and practice level. AHP assists states by applying our Population Behavioral and Social Needs Assessment (PBSNA) to assess and create a plan for transforming community response to the opioid epidemic.
Reach and Connect Special Populations with OUD Services
AHP excels at helping providers and systems understand and engage with special populations who are often underserved, vulnerable, and at risk, such as people living in poverty, trauma survivors, people in abusive relationships, isolated tribal communities, LGBTQ+ youth, veterans with PTSD, people with mental illness, and youth exiting foster care who often lack health insurance or a support network. AHP understands the unique challenges that prevent these special populations from getting help with OUD.
Conduct Evaluation and Data Collection
Offering an impressive array of evaluation skills, content knowledge, and experience working directly with individuals with OUD, AHP works with clients on a wide range of evaluation and outcome studies, as well as on data collection and reporting. We can help you respond to mandated data collection requirements and develop evaluations to assess program impact.
Utilize Cutting-Edge Virtual Technology to Save Costs and Expand Reach
To save costs and expand reach, AHP provides comprehensive virtual technology to support state opioid initiatives. Virtual meetings and trainings are cost-effective, allow larger and more diverse audiences, and can be recorded and placed online for continued viewing access. AHP offers expertise in skillful moderation, technical expertise and hosting platforms, and experience hosting virtual activities.
