Training content promotes best practices in specialty and primary care settings to enhance the delivery of medications for addiction treatment (MAT) and promote MAT sustainability. Under the expanded OASIS-TTA program, content will address stimulants (methamphetamine and cocaine) and fentanyl and include an emphasis to improve care for vulnerable priority populations (including but not limited to youth, American Indian/Alaska Native populations, and persons experiencing homelessness).

The OASIS-TTA program incorporates multiple targeted implementation support activities:

• Develop and conduct a statewide survey using quantitative and qualitative methods among Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 (DATA 2000) waivered prescribers and Tribal MAT providers to determine training/technical assistance needs;
• Build the appropriate training/TA team and develop curricula addressing targeted areas of support/mentorship needs;
• Provide distance and/or face-to-face training and technical assistance to increase prescriber/provider skills in delivering MAT services.
• Provide implementation support to provider programs participating in the CA Hub and Spoke System project through regionalized Learning Collaboratives and ongoing training and mentorship opportunities.
• Provide training and technical assistance via the Project ECHO™ web-based case consultation mechanism (Tribal MAT ECHO Clinic - for tribal communities, and MAT ECHO Clinic - for general providers).
• Provide quarterly trainings to rural and urban Indian health care providers to improve treatment programming and services that address the needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) individuals with opioid use disorder, stimulant use disorder, and co-occurring use disorders.
