COMPP Subaward Announcement
Advocates for Human Potential (AHP) is pleased to announce the three organizations that have been awarded funding for the initial period of performance for Contingency Management Pilot Programs (COMPP). A total of $1,500,000 has been approved to be distributed across 3 years by the Illinois Opioid Remediation Advisory Board (IORAB) for COMPP services in the state of Illinois.
The goal of COMPP is to increase treatment retention, to increase medication compliance, and to reduce opioid use among individuals with OUD or polysubstance use disorder, including opioids, who participate in MAR or other evidence-based treatment and recovery supports, particularly among disproportionately affected populations and/or areas of the state. To accomplish this goal, subrecipients of COMPP funding will:
- Design and staff a comprehensive Contingency Management (CM) program
- Train staff in evidence-based and evidence-informed CM practices
- Administer incentives (with and/or without monetary value) in compliance with state and federal laws and regulations
