Exhibit A
Scope of Work
The scope of work and pricing for services for this contracted agency is detailed within the
attached work plan. This project addresses addiction among youth and their family
through a comprehensive approach that integrates data measurement, evidence-based
intervention, supervised clinical support, and comprehensive training. This project will
include the development and implementation of a data measurement and screening tool to
help identify at-risk youth and early detections of opioid use. Additionally, this project
includes hiring a LADAC to implement programs and interventions with oversight and
additional support from existing positions. Lastly, it includes supporting the development
of a safe space for youth displaced by opioid misuse and addiction.
This project meets the spending requirements of the opioid litigation by addressing the
primary strategy of primary prevention, harm reduction, treatment, recovery support,
and education and training. Specifically within the approved uses (Exhibit E of the
original opioid settlements), this project addresses but is not limited to the following:
CC3 Provide training and long-term implementation of SBIRT in key systems
(health, schools, colleges, criminal justice, and probation), with a focus on youth
and young adults when transition from misuse to opioid disorder is common.
E5 Hire additional social workers or other behavioral health workers to facilitate
expansions above (referring to other recovery support categories within the
approved strategies).
BB12 Support stigma reduction efforts regarding treatment and support for persons
with OUD, including reducing the stigma on effective treatment
