Open Date - Close Date: 2/15/2019 to 3/1/2019

Awarded Vendor:

Description: The Utah County Department of Drug and Alcohol Prevention and Treatment(ADDAPT) is seeking a provider of office based opioid treatment in Utah County. American Society of Addiction Medicine’s definition of Opioid Based Opioid Treatment (OBOT):OBOT refers to models of opioid agonist treatment that seek to integrate the treatment of opioid addiction into the general medical and psychiatric care of the patient. The foundation of OBOT is the conceptualization of opioid addiction as a chronic medical condition with similarity to many other chronic conditions. An important feature of OBOT is that it allows primary care physicians to provide addiction treatment services in their usual clinical settings, thus expanding the availability of care. Funding for this procurement comes from the federal State Opioid Response Grant funds (SOR)awarded to the State of Utah and passed through to local substance abuse authority programs. OBOT services provided through SOR are to be delivered through a hub-and-spoke model,where the hub is a physician’s office, and the spokes are hospital emergency departments, police agencies, and jails in conjunction with peer counselors who make the initial contact with the patient at the spoke site, then continue to facilitate ongoing case management services for patients started in OBOT. Utah County already has an existing hub-and-spoke model for some inmates of the Utah County Jail. ADDAPT contracts with a full-time medical director whose office is in Provo and who is the hub for the hub-and-spoke model at the Jail. The purpose of this RFP is to select additional licensed physician treatment Providers that can provide OBOT services for adults residing in north and south areas of Utah County. It is the intention of ADDAPT to select one or more CONTRACTOR(s) to provide. Level of Care: Office Based Opioid Treatment CONTRACTORs to be Selected: ...................... 1-2 Maximum Funds Available: ................. $150,000 (based on a 12-month fiscal year)
