community addresses opioid use disorder. (15 minutes)

4. Is there new funding or resources that have come available in the last year?

community suffering from opioid use disorder?

On any given week we have about 140 appointment slots among 10 medical
providers earmarked for MOUD appointments.
Our SUDP can start applying their skills from the very beginning
The dedicated phone line eliminates barriers to receiving help for non-urgent
needs
A roof over your head provides comfort during the difficult stages of
induction/withdrawal
SCALA-NW is a program from the WA State Healthcare Authority that helps
hospitals and Eds initiate treatment for OUD and connects patients to follow up
primary care
We now have an Internal Medicine physician at NC w/special training and
expertise in treating substance use disorders and HIV
YNHS is also a naloxone distributor

Whole Person Care
Focus on Efforts to Treat Hepatitis C
As we met these individuals , the impact of providing whole person care became
very apparent.
Substance use disorders, infectious disease , and mental health disorders often
go hand-in-hand, and all are public health issues that need to be addressed.
Most patients in the US and Europe acquired hepatitis C through IV drug use or
blood transmission.
In the US IV drug use w/ needles or paraphernalia contaminated w/ HCV is the
most commonly identified source of acute hep C infection
Other modes of transmission: organ transplantation, using
contaminated equipment for procedures, other
pokes/piercings, sexual transmission, perinatal . You
don't have to be using drugs to get hep c.
