risks and made their choices.” “These patients are too complex– we don’t have the clinical expertise.” “These patients are too disruptive for our practice.”

Make treatment easy to find. No wrong door.

  • Treat the disease, not the symptom
  • Train and support clinicians
  • If you can’t integrate, coordinate
  • Step-up and step-down care (like any other chronic disease)

Promote Harm Reduction

  • Risky behavior won’t go away
  • Some behaviors are safer than
  • thers
  • Our goal is improved life for people

and communities

  • We should help minimize harm

We are good with harm reduction – for diabetes.

Cause? Genes, environment, and behavior Prevention? Environmental and behavior change Treatment? Long-term chemical replacement; lifestyle changes Noncompliance: Support small changes. Keep treating.

The cost of expecting perfection

People cut off opioid pain meds are twice as likely to use illicit drugs Veterans: higher risk of suicide and mental health crisis when opioids tapered to zero Half of people discontinued off opioids were stopped abruptly; half of those were admitted to the ED or hospital for opioid-related diagnoses.

Levels of care: primary care MAT

Level 3 Level 2 Level 1

Hire addiction counselors and/or peers. Train staff and clinicians in management of other SUDs. Contract with counties and plans as SUD treatment provider. 2 clinicians get a waiver. Treat simple OUD; transfer complex patients (persistent + drug screens) to opioid treatment program. Accept bupe maintenance patients. Transition high-dose pain patients onto bupe Train staff in SBIRT screening. Train behavioral staff in motivational interviewing for SUD. Have MA do check-in calls during buprenorphine starts. Do buprenorphine group visits, co-led by clinician and behaviorist.
