Behavioral Health Consulting
Our group of public health professionals, nurses, a physician, and a clinician give you personalized attention and facilitate an individualized solution.
There is no feeling more helpless than the depth of addiction.
Both affected people and their families and friends endure sleepless nights, physical illness, runaround from the health care system, and the frustration of relapse.
For the professionals that help people with substance use disorder (SUD) survive and put their lives back together, the experience can be nearly as trying as addiction itself. The Steadman Group’s Behavioral Health Consulting Division can ease this process. We help you– often a physician, clinicians, peer, or clinic administrator– create systems of care in which your clients can recover, making your job easier and more effective.
Our group of public health professionals, nurses, a physician, and a clinician give you personalized attention and facilitate an individualized solution. We are small but effective, focusing on high-impact projects at the cutting edge of policy and evidence-based practice.
Here are some of our recent projects:
- Facilitated 8 of the 19 Regional Governance Committees that determine how to spend their share of the $400 million dollars in opioid settlement funding coming to Colorado. Through the 8 regions we facilitate, we support 22 counties across the state in addressing opioid related harms.
- Conducted an education and advocacy campaign for contingency management, a particularly promising evidence-based practice for stimulant use disorder and other substance use disorders, across
- Colorado. Through this, we met with providers, people with lived expertise, and regulators to get a better understanding of what Colorado needs to widely adopt this promising practice on a larger scale.
- Written over $5M of winning SUD-related grants, including SAMHSA and HRSA grants for rural areas. We also help facilitate these grants once awarded.
- Worked with DynamiCare Health to successfully obtain Breakthrough Device Development (BDD) from the FDA for their software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) to treat smoking among pregnant persons using contingency management (CM). Over the course of 2022, we helped to secure over $2M in funding for contingency management programs to improve substance use treatment outcomes among Medicaid, uninsured, and other high-risk populations.
- Worked with the Health District of Northern Larimer County (HDNLC) to complete an inclusive environmental scan of the county’s recovery support services (RSS) ecosystem which resulted in community informed recommendations to improve Larimer County’s RSS environment.
- Successfully advocated for a bill to mandate and fund medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder in Colorado jails and prisons. Over $5M was allocated for this effort and we have assisted dozens of institutions in implementing their MAT programs.
- Assessed statewide substance use disorder treatment capacity. Ahead of Colorado Medicaid’s 1115 waiver for residential SUD treatment, we assessed the current capacity and recommended ways to improve that.
- Facilitated SUD treatment program implementation at 8 community health centers, community mental health centers, syringe access programs, and public health departments, providing regulatory, personnel, and clinical policies.
As you can see, we focus on a single but important niche, substance use disorder, in the Mountain West region. You won’t find anyone more familiar with substance use policy in the region. Our solutions are creative– we don’t rely on a proprietary tool or one-size-fits-all solution. With our broad expertise, we can help with medical, clinical, regulatory, legal, and financial aspects of your program. Furthermore, we help you seek out government and philanthropic funding opportunities to build your program toward sustainability.
We look forward to hearing from you. Consultations are always free, so if you would like to discuss a question or a potential program, please contact us. Also, as a woman-owned business, we often support principals on larger state and federal grants. Please contact us to discuss partnership opportunities.
Too often, people with substance use disorder suffer in silence, uncertain where to turn for help. Our clients often delay as well, putting off a new program or working on shoestring funding for years. The Steadman Group’s Behavioral Health Consulting Division will improve your capacity to help people with SUD and mental health problems, so contact us today.
