The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is announcing the availability of FY 2008 funds for a single source award to the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) for the Physician Clinical Support System for the Appropriate Use of Methadone in the Treatment of Pain and Opioid Addiction (PCSS-M) Cooperative Agreement.

The purpose of this project is to establish a national mentoring network offering support (clinical updates, evidence-based outcomes, and training) free of charge to physicians and other medical professionals in the appropriate use of methadone for the treatment of chronic pain and opioid addiction. SAMHSA is responsible for certifying over 1,000 Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) that use methadone and buprenorphine in the treatment of opioid addiction. This initiative will help address the Nation's rise in methadone-associated deaths that has been spurred by misuse/abuse and fatal drug interactions involving methadone.
