The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) has awarded $17,550,000 to 26 organizations through the California Youth Opioid Response Project (YOR).
YOR is a component of the DHCS Opioid Response Project that works in partnership with stakeholders throughout California to increase low barrier access to United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), and support the full continuum of prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery support services for youth, transition-age youth (TAY), and young adults (ages 16‒25) experiencing opioid use disorders (OUD) and other concurrent substance use disorders (SUDs). Awardees are located throughout California. The program’s goal is to provide treatment services and/or expand access for youth, TAY, and young adults with OUD/Stimulant Use Disorder and/or those at risk of misusing illicit substances and counterfeit pharmaceuticals often mixed with fentanyl.
