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 0.69 MB] and Volume 2 [PDF 1.28 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.
This toolkit provides tools to both providers and patients for the assessment and management of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, as well as substance use disorders (SUD).
Gives basic information about treating overdose with naloxone.
Includes a short video that demonstrates how to train people to use the VA Auto-Injector Naloxone Kit.
