This collection of tools and resources is for providers, staff, and patients who offer or use services to address substance use, and other interested stakeholders. This collection was originally established following an environmental scan on implementing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder (OUD) in rural primary care. (See PDFs of Volume 1 (PDF - 609 KB) and Volume 2 (PDF - 1.3 MB) of that scan). Items have been continuously added to this collection since then, and the collection has expanded to cover substance use more broadly, rather than just MAT for OUD.
Provides strategies to build support for expanding the use of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and resources for securing buy-in.
Explores the connections between opioid abuse, overdose, and suicide. Examines current research on the relationship between these problems and discusses opportunities for cross-sector collaboration to address them.
Explores ways to expand the use of evidence-based treatment for OUD.
Reviews three FDA-approved medications for OUD treatment (methadone, naltrexone, and buprenorphine) and the other strategies and services needed to support people in recovery.
Describes what physicians need to know about the patient limit of 275, such as eligibility and credentials.
