Implementation of Medications for Alcohol and Opioid Use Disorders in a Value-Based Organization-Unlocking Value by Addressing Unmet Needs for Medicaid and Dually-Eligible Beneficiaries.

The authors describe a rapid implementation of medication treatment for substance use disorders in a value-based organization, delivered in the community-based, interdisciplinary primary care of Medicaid and dual-eligible members. The determinants of increased need are reviewed, as well as the growing opportunity to improve access to treatments, and a template for implementation is shared.
