What is the SUPRT Survey?

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded Maine the State Opioid Response (SOR) grant to expand treatment and recovery services to individuals with opioid and stimulant use disorders. A requirement of the SOR grant is to administer SAMHSA’s Unified Performance and Reporting Tool (SUPRT) to program participants receiving grant-funded treatment and recovery services.

The SUPRT survey is a tool that collects data on a client’s behavior and activities. This tool sets performance goals and measures participant outcomes and progress in the enrolled program. It helps examine the effectiveness of the services provided to participants and helps the federal government assess the efficacy of how funding is being utilized. All SUPRT surveys are de-identified.
