Project Description: YOR 2 focused on intervention and comprehensive service planning for youth misusing opioids/stimulants or with opioid/stimulant use disorders (OUD/StUDs). VOALA YOR 2 concentrated on sustainability and system change by providing multiple service elements that include case management, Medication-Assisted Treatment, behavioral interventions, family focused services, and recovery supportive services.
