Addiction network

Effectively managing issues of substance use requires addressing it on multiple levels, from treating patients to supporting the providers who deliver their care. CommonSpirit Population Health is working to ensure frontline providers have the evidence-based tools, resources and expert guidance they need to be effective healers for patients with substance use disorders through an Addiction Network.

The Addiction Network gathers these resources and makes them easily accessible. It provides evidence-based toolkits and helps digest and disseminate best practices. Additionally, an Opioid Initiative, a program of the Addiction Network, was created to help providers align clinical practice with evidence-based practice, assure equitable access to medications for addiction treatment (MAT) and provide support to providers caring for patients with opioid use disorder.
