HEALTH CARE INTEGRATION

For millions of low-income individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs), the integration of primary care and behavioral health services is vitally important. By finding ways to build effective collaboration across these services, we can improve both health outcomes and likelihood of recovery from the SUDs themselves.
