Substance Use Disorders "SUD"
DefinitionsIn this section:
CA Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC-ODS) Waiver (8-14-15) "The waiver gives the state flexibility to establish a continuum of care to help ensure that services and treatment are delivered in the right place at the right time in the right setting for the individual's needs... “Medi-Cal Moves Addiction Treatment into the Mainstream: Early Lessons from the DMC-ODS Pilots.” 2018, CA Health Care Foundation / “How Medi-Cal Expanded Substance Use Treatment and Access to Care” is a follow up to the 2018 paper and includes perspectives from additional counties representing various population sizes and geographic areas throughout the state. 2020, CA Health Care Foundation Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) means utilizing U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of substance use disorders. Medications commonly used include methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone, which reduce or prevent cravings and withdrawal symptoms, and reduce the risk of overdose. MAT is primarily used for the treatment of addiction to opioids (heroin and prescription pain relievers that contain opiates). Additionally, acamprosate may be used to reduce cravings for individuals with alcohol use disorder, and disulfiram deters drinking because combining it with alcohol causes physical illness. Naltrexone is also used for alcohol use disorder since it blocks the euphoric effects and feelings of intoxication.
SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment) is an integrated, comprehensive, evidence-based approach to identify, reduce and prevent risky or unhealthy substance use and can be utilized in a variety of different settings.
