We should really be involving pcps and specialists and ancillary providers like nutritionists, and certainly wrapping in care for behavioral health conditions which we know are just so common and co-occurring with substance use disorder.
What does top-notch care for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) look like? In this episode of 'Mission: Recovery', Erin Terkoski Young, a behavioral health leader at Willis Towers Watson, breaks it all down. With a background as a clinical social worker, Erin offers a unique perspective on the gaps and opportunities in SUD treatment today. She emphasizes the need for a holistic approach that includes primary care physicians, specialists, nutritionists, and behavioral health providers working together.
But it’s not just about the team; Erin dives into the challenges posed by the current fee-for-service model and advocates for a shift towards value-based care. The conversation also touches on the role of technology and medication-assisted treatment in making recovery more accessible. Erin and host Maroof Ahmed MD discuss how the pandemic has reshaped SUD care, highlighting the importance of personalized treatment plans.
Erin believes that breaking down stigma and making it easier to access treatment are crucial steps forward. Employers and payers should prioritize evidence-based practices when choosing treatment services, she argues. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of addiction care and how we can all contribute to a more supportive environment for those on their recovery journey.
