SAMHSA’s continued commitment

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has announced the fourth State Opioid Response (SOR) grant.

Substance use and addiction continues to impact every corner of the United States, reaching communities and devastating families in record numbers. According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NDUH), more than 48 million people aged 12 or older (17 percent of the population) met the DSM-5 criteria for a substance use disorder in 2022. Even more concerningly, only 24 percent of those people received any treatment.

In response to this ongoing epidemic, SAMHSA recently announced the fourth State Opioid Response (SOR) grant available to all U.S. states and territories.

The program – nearly $1.5 billion in funding – is meant to support increased access to medication-assisted treatment, support the full continuum of prevention and recovery initiatives and reduce unmet treatment needs. SAMHSA initiatives have continued to support increased access to medication-assisted treatment for opioid abuse, which include medications such as methadone and buprenorphine. Applications are due July 1, 2024, and application materials and useful information for applicants can be found on SAMHA’s website.

For more than 20 years, FEI Systems has successfully demonstrated our commitment to assisting state and county agencies in the coordination and delivery of barrier-free, person-centered care that promotes optimal health and well-being for all people, especially vulnerable populations. Specifically, we have a long history of providing support to states for SAMHSA grant data collection, including block grant and SAMHSA’s Performance Accountability and Reporting System (SPARS) requirements.

With our Blue Compass suite of solutions, which includes a comprehensive behavioral health platform, our partners can seamlessly upload completed Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) data into SAMHSA’s SPARS database, track programs and have more time for analysis of substance use and addiction program management. Our behavioral health solution is currently used by more than 30 states and counties to simplify data collection and reporting and program management for behavioral health initiatives, like substance use disorder treatment and prevention programs.

Once again this summer, from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend (Fri, May 30 to Fri, Aug. 29) you may shift up to four work hours into the early part of the week to get a jump start on the weekends and close your virtual office up to four hours early on Fridays. We encourage you to coordinate with your manager and your teams to take advantage of the summer schedule. We know you’re all responsible professionals, always focused on the needs of our clients and the business. We trust you’ll consider the potential for urgent matters that may arise and ensure we remain available and responsive to clients, be flexible in managing appropriate rotations when coverage is necessary and properly notify your clients and team members when you will be away. So don’t be afraid to take us up on this offer and head out early when you can.

Just a couple of things to remember as you record your time:

  • If your vacation or other time off plans include a Friday, the Flexible Friday benefit will not apply during that stretch of time (you will need to enter a full day of ProLeave for each day you are out, including the Friday). In other words, you must enter working time in the days immediately prior to the Friday to use the flex benefit.
  • When entering time, your pay period total hours will not necessarily align with the pay period required minimum hours (it could be fewer or more depending on the calendar days in the period). Don’t worry about that. Just make certain you are working and recording at least 40 hours per week.

We hope this bright perk helps you unwind, recharge and get your fair share of Vitamin D. If you have any questions, please send them to humanresources@feisystems.com.
