    Maine MOM Model Initiative and Grant Award

    Maine was awarded $5.3 million cooperative agreement from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) to participate in the Maternal Opioid Misuse (MOM) model. See the CMS MOM Press Release or the Maine DHHS MOM Award Press Release for more information about the award.

    The MaineMOM initiative aims to:

    • Implement a “No wrong door" approach to screening, welcoming, and engaging women in care
    • Design a system of treatment and recovery for mothers, using a medication first model of Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)
    • Increase access to evidenced-based care by integrated perinatal and substance use healthcare teams
    • Coordinate care for pregnant women and mothers with substance use disorders within local communities and across the state of Maine
    • Conduct a public outreach campaign aimed at increasing awareness of supportive services and reducing stigma for pregnant women and mothers

    See the MaineMOM FactSheet (PDF) for a summary of the model.
