Pregnant and Parenting Women with Opioid Use Disorder
Improve Access to Complex Care Treatment
Most women in substance use treatment are of childbearing age and often face a host of complex and entwined issues.
Improve Patient Outcomes
Investing time to learn how to provide specialty treatment to your patients in your primary care office, where they are most comfortable, can improve patient outcomes.
Grow Your Primary Care Practice Capacity
Research shows that providers who attend Project ECHO sessions increase their ability to treat patients and offer community resources and referrals to patients and caregivers. When multiple providers in one practice attend the same or different ECHOs, capacity to treat patients expands exponentially.
