Briefing: Substance Use Disorder Training and Technical Assistance Program

Research Focus

This program funds training, technical assistance, mentoring, and implementation support to build healthcare workforce capacity for identifying and treating substance use disorders (SUDs)—particularly opioid and alcohol use disorders—across general health and behavioral health settings. The initiative targets the clinical and organizational barriers that limit SUD screening, diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment delivery in primary care, emergency departments, specialty behavioral health clinics, and related healthcare environments. Supported activities span clinician skill-building, organizational readiness assessment, quality improvement implementation, and sustained coaching to embed SUD identification and treatment protocols into routine practice. The intended outcome is measurable expansion of SUD treatment access and quality across diverse healthcare delivery systems.
