Collaborative Care for Opioid and Alcohol Use
Key Points
Question: Does collaborative care for opioid and alcohol use disorders increase treatment use and self-reported abstinence compared with usual primary care?
Findings: Results from this randomized clinical trial found that, relative to usual care, the collaborative care intervention increased both the proportion of primary care patients receiving evidence-based treatment for opioid and alcohol use disorders and the number achieving abstinence from opioids or alcohol use at 6 months.
Meaning: Effective treatment for opioid and alcohol use disorders can be integrated into primary care using a collaborative care intervention and results in improved patient outcomes.
