CMHPSM RFP 2025A - Substance Use Services Prevention Program

The Community Mental Health Partnership of Southeast Michigan (CMHPSM) is the Pre-Paid Inpatient Health Plan (PIHP) for Region 6, representing Lenawee, Livingston, Monroe and Washtenaw counties. CMHPSM is requesting proposals from bidders for substance use prevention programs to be provided within our four-county region.  Proposals should align with the CMHPSM FY24-26 Substance Use Services Strategic Plan and the Recovery Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC) model.  Consider existing services, opportunities for collaboration, health disparities and social determinants of health.

Identifying and understanding substance misuse related issues in our region is vital to making recommendations for potential improvements in substance misuse associated with various individual, familial, and community issues.  The CMHPSM understands the importance of targeting needs and strategies to promote healthy communities and individual well-being.  Critical to the chances for success in substance misuse prevention is the implementation of high quality, evidence-based intervention(s) (EBI) targeted to multiple sectors within a community.

Bidders must utilize data to guide local decisions and create a comprehensive plan for programming based on the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration’s (SAMHSA) Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF).  The SPF is an outcome-based, data driven, population-level approach to substance misuse prevention planning.  SPF includes five steps: assessment, capacity, planning, implementation, and evaluation.  All five steps in the SPF process must be conducted in a culturally competent manner and with a goal of sustainability.  For more information, please see A Guide to SAMHSA’s Strategic Prevention Framework.
