Addressing Complex Health, Identity, and Social Factors in SUD Treatment

SUD Care Continuum ECHO®: Addressing Complex Health, Identity, and Social Factors in SUD Treatment

As part of the twice-monthly SUD Care Continuum ECHO® series, Brooke G. Rogers, PhD, MPH, will discuss addressing complex health, identity and social factors in the treatment of substance use disorders. The didactic will be followed by a de-identified patient case presentation from an ECHO® participant and recommendations from the panel of experts and attendees.

Boston Medical Center's (BMC) drop-in series Substance Use Disorder Care Continuum ECHO® (SUD Care Continuum ECHO®) offers training and support in addiction treatment, with a focus on supporting front line addiction treatment workforce. This includes health providers in Acute Treatment Services (ATS), Crisis Stabilization Services (CSS), Transitional Support Services (TSS), Opioid Treatment Programs (OTP), long-term residential program, sober and recovery homes, primary care, and psychiatry. This free, case-based tele-mentoring program is designed to increase the capacity of health care providers to implement high-quality and evidence-based addiction treatment.

Following this training, participants will have the knowledge to:

• Define "syndemics populations" as populations affected by multiple marginalized identities.
• Discuss unique considerations for working with syndemics populations and how to approach treatment of substance use disorders in the context of these other factors.
