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 a template for an agreement that describes the patient's responsibilities and commitment not to engage in certain activities.
Collaborative Care is a new way of doing medicine and requires an openness to creating a new vision that everyone supports. This step-by-step guide provides a broad overview of the major steps needed to successfully implement a Collaborative Care program.
