Name
J11 - From Surviving to Thriving: A Successful Experience of Multisite Medication Assisted Treatment in Integrated Primary Care and Behavioral Health
Description

Piedmont Health Services (PHS) implemented Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) in 2016 at one community health center. Through team-based learning, use of evidence-based practices, and innovating a flexible workflow, we have expanded integrated treatment to eight community health centers (and soon to be nine!). PHS’s successful multisite integration of MAT across clinics shows how MAT care can help patient’s flourish and promote healing across multiple domains.
