Behavioral Health Identification, Treatment and Referral in Primary Care-Part Two: Substance Use Disorders in Primary Care
Activity description
Substance-use disorders (SUDs) contribute heavily to the burden of disease in the United States. The traditional separation of behavioral health from mainstream health care has created obstacles to successful care coordination. Stigma can also be a barrier to treatment and recovery. This activity will focus on the integration of behavioral health services into the clinical primary care setting for SUD and discuss breaking the stigma and setting the stage for collaboration. Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) measures related to SUD will also be examined, as well as why these measures are important to establish a therapeutic alliance and a collaborative, stigma-free approach to care.
