America is in the midst of an opioid crisis that is the fuel for a drug overdose epidemic now claiming more lives than car accidents. In fact, more Americans died of overdose in 2014 than in any other year on record – 47,000. The current crisis demands we do more to save lives, starting with the way people who have opioid use disorders are treated. At Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, addiction specialists chose an innovative treatment approach that incorporates all of the best evidence-based treatments and practices, utilizing medications within a therapeutic context, maintaining the ultimate goal of abstinence. It’s a model focused on both immediate stabilization and long-term recovery, and involves a collaborative approach among multiple behavioral health care providers.
