Opioid management is a major challenge for primary care professionals. Developing an interdisciplinary concentrated clinic to address patient’s concerns helps overcome some of these barriers. Behavioral health providers and physicians with specialization in addiction medicine will introduce a pilot clinic to help address psychosocial in community needs for patients with poor opioid management. This integrated clinic is based on the strong collaboration between providers and patients to find effective triage services after initial and follow-up appointments. The presenters will also reflect on specific lessons learned for improvements to the integrated care model and ways to include family members earlier in the treatment process.
