Opioid Response Network
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) funded the State Opioid Response – Technical Assistance grant to the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry in collaboration with the Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC), Columbia University Division on Substance Use Disorders and a large national coalition. In response, this coalition, representing over 2 million stakeholders, created the Opioid Response Network (ORN) to provide training and address the opioid crisis.
The Opioid Response Network has local consultants in all 50 states and nine territories to respond to local needs by providing free educational resources and training to states, communities and individuals in the prevention, treatment and recovery of opioid use disorders and stimulant use.
The Opioid Response Network is a free resource for providers, funded by SAMHSA. The ORN includes a variety of resources, trainings, toolkits and coaching opportunities. As a provider, you can request support directly through this link.
