Statewide collaboration to enhance opioid treatment practices
The SUMMIT ECHO established a state-level collaborative partnership aimed at scaling evidence-based education and practice in the management of patients with Substance Use Disorder. This program is strategically designed to equip health care providers with the knowledge, support and resources essential for effectively treating SUD using a variety of modalities, including Medications for Opioid Use Disorder. The program prioritizes the sharing of resources to address systemic barriers to the effective delivery of SUD treatment, including reimbursement and regulatory issues, stigma reduction efforts and collaboration with community-based organizations and other stakeholders.
