| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 - Organization Mission | To provide quality treatment for those qualified persons who are addicted to opiates and related chemicals. Overmountain Recovery's philosophy is the goal of treatment should be to assist these individuls in attaining the highest level of functioning possible in physical, emotional, vocational and social domains. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a - Program Service Accomplishments | East Tennessee Healthcare Holdings, Inc. d/b/a Overmountain Recovery (OMR) is a not-for-profit outpatient opioid treatment, drug rehabilitation program in Johnson City, Tennessee. In 2016, Mountain States Health Alliance (MSHA) and East Tennessee State University Research Foundation (ETSU) formed OMR to treat people in its service area with heroin, morphine and prescription opioid addictions, including high-acuity individuals with co-occurring mental and physical health conditions, as well as vulnerable populations such as women with substance-exposed pregnancies. The service area consists of 39 cities and 11 counties including: Carter, Greene, Hancock, Hawkins, Johnson, Sullivan, Unicoi and Washington in Tennessee and Lee, Scott and Washington in Virginia, including the City of Bristol, Virginia. According to the Tennessee Department of Health's report "2020 Tennessee Drug Overdose Deaths and "2020 Drug Overdose Hospital Discharges in Tennessee", in 2020, there were 2,388 overdose deaths involving opioids in Tennessee-an age-adjusted rate for all opioid overdose deaths of 36.4 per 100,000 persons. According to the CDC, in 2020, Tennessee providers wrote 68.5 opioid prescriptions for every 100 persons. Although this is an 8% decline in Tennessee's opioid prescribing rate from 2019, Tennessee was the third highest prescribing rate in the country and was almost 58% higher than the average U.S. rate of 43.3 prescriptions. Over the five year period from 2016-2020, the percentage of decedents who filled an opioid prescription in the Controlled Substance Monitoring Database in the 60 days before death decreased consistently. These trends reflect the decrease of deaths involving prescription opioids and increase in deaths involving illicit opioids, the current driving force of the epidemic of overdose deaths. Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) or Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS) may occur when a woman uses opioids during pregnancy. The rate of cases of NAS per 1,000 live births in Tennessee increased slightly from 10.0 in 2019 to 10.2 in 2020. This slight increase follows two years of consecutive decline and emphasizes the negative impact that COVID-19 had on efforts made to reduce drug use in Tennessee. OMR's Opioid Treatment Program represents a unique comprehensive, innovative, holistic model of care for this patient population by bringing together the local academic and research resources of ETSU; coupled with the medical care expertise and capital resources of MSHA. These two entities have also contracted with Frontier Health to provide therapeutic and recovery-based services. OMR is only one component of a larger focus to incorporate education, outreach, research, and evaluation, all aimed at making a significant difference in the management of the chronic disease of addiction. OMR is an entity that emphasizes evidence-based, long-term treatment that addresses substance abuse disorder (SUD) as a chronic, relapsing disease. Overmountain is focused not just on providing a service, but on making the community a healthier and safer place to live, work, learn and do business by reducing the burden of addiction plaguing its service area. Both ETSU and MSHA have long-time roots in the community. ETSU, founded in 1911, is a state-supported, coeducational institution. ETSU currently has a student population of nearly 15,000 undergraduate, graduate, medical and pharmacy students. Although most students are from Tennessee and the surrounding southeastern region, 45 states and 76 countries are also represented. The main campus is in Johnson City, Tennessee with satellite campuses in Kingsport, Elizabethton, and Sevierville in Tennessee, Abingdon in Virginia and Asheville in North Carolina. ETSU has a strong health care focus with colleges of pharmacy, clinical and rehabilitative health sciences, nursing, public health, and medicine. Mountain States Health Alliance, founded in 1998, is part of a large, integrated, not-for-profit health care system based in Johnson City, Tennessee. In February 2018, Mountain States Health Alliance (MSHA) and Wellmont Health System (WHS) merged to form Ballad Health (BH), a tax-exempt entity and parent company of MSHA and WHS. Ballad Health is an integrated community health improvement organization serving 29 counties of the Appalachian Highlands in Northeast Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, Northwest North Carolina and Southeast Kentucky. Ballad Health's 21 hospitals, including a dedicated children's hospital, post-acute care and behavioral health services, and a large multi-specialty group physician practice works closely with an active independent medical community and community stakeholders to improve the health and well-being of more than 1 million people. OMR is committed to its patients' recovery. OMR provides care that is customized to their patients' personal needs and takes into consideration housing, education, employment, legal issues, security, transportation and other areas in order to gain a complete picture of the individual. Another key facet of patient-centric approach to care is to have a reliable way of getting input from patients. OMR convenes focus groups of patients who meet bi-monthly with the director and have recovery life coaches who conduct peer groups, including establishing an Overmountain group on the TN Recovery app. OMR's recovery life coaches have also started a new contingency management program for patients to encourage group attendance. A drawing is held at the end of each week and the patient whose name is drawn wins a gift card. This new contingency management program is goal oriented and strength-based practice. Goals of the program include improve treatment retention and outcomes, provide tangible evidence of accomplishment, and emphasize client-directed treatment. OMR recently added a 12-step program and two mid-level practitioners who are both certified in psychiatric mental health nursing. In FY21, OMR admitted 261 patients into their program. During the 12 months ending June 30, 2022, OMR admitted 278 patients, an increase in the monthly average of 6.5%. The average monthly census increased from 371 patients in FY21 to 463 in FY22, which is an increase of almost 25%. OMR provided food for over 35 patients and their families for Thanksgiving in 2021 and plans are underway to provide food for over 50 families for Thanksgiving 2022. The team at OMR donated all the items provided in the food boxes. PROMOTE COMMUNITY HEALTH: OMR's Community Advisory Committee meets quarterly to keep the community abreast of what is happening at OMR. ETSU has an addiction medicine fellowship and OMR is a participating site. During FY22, one fellow spent time at OMR. This program will assist in preparing physicians to treat persons with substance use and behavioral disorders in OMR's service area. OMR also has a Clinical Affiliation Agreement with ETSU to provide clinical experience to students enrolled in the Clinical Psychology program of ETSU. The agreement runs for one year and is a paid position. OMR continues to contract with the Department of Health to provide Hepatitis C rapid testing. OMR participated in several community events including a Recovery Roundtable held at a church in Kingsport, TN. Members of the community were invited to learn about multiple services available to those suffering with addiction. OMR also participated in an event at the Gray Fairgrounds in Gray, TN offering free services to the community such as dental and vision. OMR is collaborating with a group called Partnership to End Addiction. Their goal is to transform how our nation addresses addiction by empowering families, advancing effective care, shaping public policy, and changing culture. AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS: Overmountain regularly measures and reports on the performance of its program. OMR tracks both efficiency and effectiveness measures. Because of this dedication to quality, OMR earned its first three-year accreditation from CARF (the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) in August 2018. CARF three-year accreditation is the highest accreditation level awarded to organizations like Overmountain. OMR was resurveyed in July of 2021 and again received a three-year accreditation. To receive three-year accreditation from CARF, organizations are put through a rigorous ongoing process that includes, among other requirements, live on-site surveys. These requirements ensure OMR's program meets CARF's high standards of quality and accountability. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a - Program Service Accomplishments (continued) | Overmountain Recovery was also awarded the State Opioid Response (SOR) grant which was renewed in September 2021 and extended through fiscal year 2022. The SOR grant is a hub and spoke model with Overmountain being the first hub out of four across the state of TN. Spokes include Families Free, Frontier Health, Appalachian Counseling, CCS, and Red Legacy. This has allowed OMR to help many patients who could not otherwise afford treatment. The grant includes funding that allows patients assistance with transportation, social services, help pay utility bills, provide clothes for an interview, and community awareness of the services OMR provides for treatment of opioid addiction. A third-party research agency, "Evaluation, Management, and Training Associates", is conducting research on the State Opioid Response Grant at Overmountain Recovery. This research is sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA). The research project is titled "Evaluation of the Tennessee Strategic Opioid Response (TN SOR): Changing Behavior, Coordinating Care, and Restoring Lives". These assessments are conducted at intake, at 6-month review and at discharge from the grant. Throughout the fiscal year, these data were used to track trends in opioid use and effectiveness of treatment under the SOR grant. All data and reports are provided directly to SAMSHA and to the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. COVID-19 With the COVID-19 pandemic, OMR continued to adjust its program to follow advice from the State Opioid Treatment Authority (SOTA) and CDC guidelines. Conference calls were conducted bi-weekly with the SOTA and other clinics across the state. Per SOTA's request, OMR would close on Sundays for deep cleaning. OMR was able to support their patient's stability while also trying to prevent the spread of COVID-19 by providing more take-home medication than would normally be allowed, counseling sessions were conducted via tele-health and treatment team was conducted via conference call. When in person counseling sessions are conducted, CDC guidelines regarding social distancing and masking are followed. If patients present with positive COVID-19 symptoms, they are dosed at their vehicle and advised to visit one of Ballad Health's testing centers. Patients are required to wear masks at all times and team members are required to follow CDC PPE guidelines. OMR had the Ballad Health mobile unit on site several times to offer the COVID vaccine to our patients. |
