Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) are programs certified by the United States Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) that engage in supervised assessment and treatment, using methadone, buprenorphine, L-alpha acetyl methadol, or naltrexone, of members who are addicted to opioids. Opioid Treatment Services (OTS) includes the use of Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) in addition to the psychotherapy services to treat a member with an OUD.

OTP providers must be licensed by DBHDS as a provider of Medication Assisted Opioid Treatment/Opioid Treatment Services and contracted by the Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) and the DMAS fee-for-service Contractor as an Addiction and Recovery Treatment Services (ARTS) OTP Provider.

For treatments, take home doses have a maximum 28-day limit dispensing at a time and must be approved by the State Opioid Treatment Authorities (SOTA).

IMPORTANT NOTE: This provisional data is being provided as VDH OEMS continues to improve its data systems. The data on this page will continue to change throughout the data system improvement process and will stabilize over time. Thank you for your patience.

This dataset contains Emergency Medical Services (EMS) information for reported incidents that involve a substance or have suspected substance involvement. Data in this dataset has been provided by ESO on behalf of the Office of EMS.

Please be advised that the accuracy of the data within the EMS patient care reporting system is limited by system performance and the accuracy of data submissions received from EMS agencies. While each record in this dataset is for a single patient involved in an incident reported by an EMS agency, unique patients may be counted more than once in the dataset (e.g., if a patient was treated by two EMS agencies, that patient may be counted in the dataset twice). This data should not be interpreted as the number of unique substance use incidents reported by Virginia EMS agencies.

For instances where medication was administered to the patient, the response to the medication is provided, if reported by the EMS agency (e.g., if a patient received "naloxone" and the response of the patient for this administration of naloxone was reported as "Improved", then the record will show "naloxone with Improved response"). In instances where multiple medications were administered to the patient, the administrations and their associated responses are provided as a pipe-delimited list in the order that the patient received the medications.
