Substance Use

Clinical Care: Substance Use

Overview

Over 3 million patients sought care at health centers for their substance use disorders (SUDs) in 2022. NACHC supports initiatives to expand medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and integrated care for opioid use and SUDs, tobacco cessation efforts, and outreach to prevent SUDs when patients are struggling.

We work closely with our Committee on Service Integration for Behavioral Health and HIV.
