SUMMARY:Community of Practice: Integrating Addiction Treatment Services Into Primary Care
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nWith their training in whole-person care\, primary care providers are often the first providers to witness how addiction – to tobacco\, alcohol\, and other substances – complicates their patients’ mental and physical condition. Yet primary care providers often have many questions about how to manage substance use disorders (SUDs) in their health center practice. This eight-session Community of Practice (CoP) will guide HRSA-supported health center staff to integrate SUD services into their primary care setting. Grounded in the belief that addiction treatment is a fundamental part of whole-person care\, CoP participants will learn from addiction medicine experts and health center colleagues about building shared language around addiction; forming a high-performing addiction/integration treatment team; evaluating and administering screening tools; next steps after a positive SUD screening; managing referrals; and sustaining their health center SUD program. This CoP will provide health centers the opportunity to learn about and exchange effective strategies to provide impactful\, team-based addiction care. \nBehavioral health professionals may earn one continuing education credit for attending each CoP session. \nObjectives:\nAt the end of this CoP\, participants will be able to: \n\nApply communication techniques for discussing addiction with patients\, colleagues\, and co-providers.\nOutline how to create a high-performing addiction integration team.\nEvaluate processes for SUD screening\, assessment\, treatment\, and referrals.\nUse a Plan\, Do\, Study\, Act continuous process model to build sustainability into addiction integration programs.\n\n1:00 – 2:00 PM ET Every other Thursday until February 5\, 2026 (with a two-week holiday break)\n2:00 – 2:30 p.m. ET optional office hours\n

In Nevada\, the OD2A team collects\, analyzes\, and disseminates actionable data—such as emergency department visits\, fatal and non-fatal overdoses\, and related surveillance indicators—to help communities identify trends\, guide resource allocation\, and strengthen coordinated response efforts across the state. \nFor additional information about the Nevada Overdose Data to Action Program\, visit www.nvopioidcoe.org/opioid-response-framework/od2a or email Taylor Lensch at tlensch@unr.edu.
