Connecticut seeks eligible providers to establish and operate up to three Recovery Community Centers for people affected by substance use and overdose risk.
- **Buyer:** State of Connecticut, Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Procurement, for the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS).
- **Requested service:** Establish and operate up to three Recovery Community Centers in identified communities.
- **Required approach:** Centers must provide stigma-free, low-barrier drop-in access, especially for people who use opioids or face opioid-overdose risk. Access cannot depend on abstinence or willingness to enter treatment.
- **Core activities:** Offer peer-led recovery groups, individual coaching, family supports, connections to treatment, health care and social-service providers, and coordination with local outreach efforts.
- **Overdose prevention:** Provide access to naloxone and other overdose-prevention and risk-mitigation materials.
- **OEMs and vendors:** None are named; the opportunity seeks eligible service providers.

### Description

DMHAS seeks to fund up to three eligible proposers to establish Recovery Community Centers in identified communities. Each center will provide a stigma-free, low-barrier drop-in space for people who use drugs, with a focus on people using opioids or at risk of opioid overdose; abstinence or interest in treatment is not required for access. Services include peer-led recovery groups, individual coaching, family supports, and coordination with treatment, health care, social services, and outreach providers. Centers must also make naloxone and other overdose-prevention and risk-mitigation materials available.
