Massachusetts General's 3-step approach that cut readmission risk for substance use disorders by 25%


Of the 20 million Americans with a substance use disorder (SUD), only about 2.1 million suffer from opioid use disorder (OUD) specifically. In contrast, nearly 15 million have alcohol use disorder, which kills around 16,000 more people each year than opioids and is at least three times more expensive to treat. These statistics do not argue that providers should stop focusing on opioids. However, with only 12% of patients with a SUD receiving treatment, providers need a comprehensive strategy to increase access to a broader suite of services.
