Abstract

For clinicians working in primary care and behavioral health settings, the opportunity is clear: Integrated care models have the potential to transform how we engage and support patients with substance use disorders (SUD), bringing meaningful, low-barrier care to the clinic exam room. By combining evidence-based practice with patient-centered approaches and diverse care teams, primary care can become a more effective-and more accessible-entry point for recovery-oriented care.
