California’s Narcotic Treatment Programs (NTPs) play a pivotal role in expanding access to the full array of medications available to treat opioid use disorder. Through expanded and enhanced collaboration with community clinics, outpatient treatment programs, corrections departments, hospitals, and primary care providers, NTPs are continuing to move California closer to its goal of dramatically increasing the availability of all opioid use disorder treatment medications throughout the state.
The NTP REACH project was designed to support NTPs in this endeavor by providing funding for collaboration, infrastructure, and personnel development within these programs, as well as improving regional coordination and capacity building. This project concluded in 2021.
