Opioid abuse is a long-standing problem in California.
The substance use disorder (SUD) crisis might seem insurmountable, but the CA Bridge Program has developed a model of care that saves lives and helps patients with SUDs get back on track. The 24/7 program is built upon three pillars: rapid access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT), welcoming and destigmatized care and specially trained substance use navigators (SUNs) that connect patients to ongoing care and support.
Patients with SUDs want and need help.
Hospitals that have implemented the CA Bridge Program have made great strides in patient treatment and sustained care post-discharge. To date: nearly 7000 patients have been provided treatment, 5000 patients have received MAT and 4300 patients have followed up with MAT care after leaving the hospital.
