Source: Office of the Court AdministratorSUD treatment and payment systems are undergoing a massive shift nationally and in Montana.
Shift in Understanding of SUD “Addiction is a moral failure” “Addiction is a chronic, relapsing brain disease”
MAJOR SHIFTS IN SUD TREATMENT
Treatment limited to SUD providers Routine screening, treatment in team-based primary care settings Chronic disease management including medication assisted treatment Building a continuum of care, emphasis on community-based treatment Abstinence model Focus on inpatient beds Treatment not covered by insurance, funded by federal block grants + state dollars Coverage mandated Medicaid expansion Professional peer support and recovery Informal recovery support
Montana’s Model Historically:
SUD treatment provided by 33 state approved providers ( Max=1 per county)
New Model
INTEGRATING AND EXPANDING CAREMore state approved providers SUD treatment being integrated into primary care, hospitals and mental health- shifting focus to community based care
Medicaid Expansion
Covered comprehensive SUD treatment for expansion adults 90%+ of cost covered by federal dollars Practices can now be reimbursed for SUD care for adults who qualify for Medicaid-not capitated Allowed Montana to re-allocate federal block grant dollars traditionally used to treatment in new ways
Remaining Challenges: Access
Only 7% of Montanans with an SUD are receiving treatment Only 6% of state approved providers care for pregnant women and children Most current providers don’t treat co-occurring mental illness or medical illnesses that can interfere with recovery

WHAT INDIVIDUALS WITH LIVED SUD EXPERIENCE IN MONTANA WANT YOU TO KNOW
Talk to more addicts and people in recovery. Understand our perspective. Addiction is a disease, not just bad choices. We face a lot of stigma. Accessing treatment, housing and jobs is a challenge.
Source: Focus group themes, Montana Healthcare Foundation, June 2017WHAT INDIVIDUALS WITH LIVED SUD EXPERIENCE IN MONTANA WANT YOU TO KNOW
We want to be treated with compassion but the system is based on punishment and fear. We worry that our criminal history will define us forever. We need to make it easier for children and parents to get help. Caring professionals make a big difference.
