HEAL Initiative: Integrative Management of Chronic Pain and Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) for Whole Recovery: Health Systems

Funds work on changing how health systems deliver care to people who have both chronic pain and opioid use disorder at once. Forecast.

Between cyclesNational Institutes of HealthUnited States

Between forty and sixty per cent of people with opioid use disorder also live with chronic pain, and having both makes treatment for either harder to stay in. The notice names why: siloed medical disciplines and siloed health systems.

An earlier round of this programme funded eleven clinical trials testing interventions at the level of the individual patient, and it worked โ€” effective interventioโ€ฆ

Strategies addressing barriers to sustainable and effective delivery of integrated chronic pain and opioid use disorder care at the health system level, including the roles of peer specialists, clinicians and health system leaders, optimal settings for delivery, collaborative care models, implementation strategies and other health system approaches integrating the two services.
