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.
Provides information on evidence-based treatment of OUD. This guideline is the only document of its kind to include all Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications in one place.
Offers tips on how substance use disorder treatment providers can incorporate information related to overdose into different parts of the treatment process, including wait lists, screening/assessment, counseling, induction/orientation, positive drug screens, and discharge.
Integrated behavioral health screening that assesses patients for risky substance use behaviors and tracks actions related to brief intervention and referral
Provides an overview of the key points of the National Practice Guideline, detailed recommendations for OUD diagnosis, and information on treatment settings and opioid withdrawal. Describes MAT options and considerations for treating special populations. Links to additional resources, such as a pocket guide and a slide deck.
