Integrating Medications for Alcohol Use Disorder Into the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Model: Lessons Learned

Join the Providers Clinical Support System – Medications for Alcohol Use Disorder (PCSS-MAUD) and the National Council for Mental Wellbeing on June 30, 1-2 p.m. ET, for Integrating Medications for Alcohol Use Disorder Into the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Model: Lessons Learned. AUD is one of the most common substance use conditions in the U.S. and is associated with significant health risks and rising mortality. Despite the availability of effective, evidence-based medications, treatment remains underutilized due to persistent obstacles such as stigma, limited workforce capacity and gaps in screening and access to care. In this webinar, attendees will learn how organizations can successfully integrate MAUD and AUD treatment into the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) service model. This session will highlight lessons learned from organizational change and clinical integration at Integrity House, a CCBHC in New Jersey. Through this real-world example, attendees will explore approaches to strengthening care coordination, increasing treatment engagement and addressing common implementation hurdles across multidisciplinary teams, equipping them with practical strategies to expand access to care and improve outcomes.

What Participants will learn:

• Evidence-based approaches to treating AUD within a CCBHC setting
• Organizational obstacles to implementing MAUD services and strategies to support accessible, patient-centered treatment for individuals with AUD
• Approaches to workforce development and systems coordination to sustain services
