Opioid Training and Technical Assistance Center (OTTAC)
The OTTAC subrecipient strengthens the healthcare and behavioral health workforce in Illinois. Communities disproportionately impacted by opioid overdoses and multigenerational harms associated with structural racism and health inequities are prioritized.
The OTTAC subrecipient is expected to:
Provide training and technical assistance to healthcare sites, providers, and organizations that increases access to culturally responsive and culturally humble prevention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) or OUD co-occurring with mental health conditions.
Administer professional workforce development opportunities that facilitate growth in the number of certified/licensed behavioral health professionals in the state. These opportunities must include clinical supervision of individuals seeking licensure or certification, as well as internships, fellowships, and other paid training experiences.
