The Time for Treating Substance Use Disorder is Now is part of the Treating Addiction in Primary Care series. Raul Ayala, MD interviews Arianna Campbell, PA-C Why should family doctors - and all primary care providers - integrate treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) into our practice? You’ll hear first-hand accounts of how medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) enriches practice, relationships with patients, and most importantly, saves lives. We’ll identify barriers to beginning MOUD and start you on your way to office based opioid treatment (OBOT). On the Podcast: Raul Ayala, MD, is Ambulatory Medical Director at Adventist Health Central Valley Network and an active member of Adventist’s Opioid Stewardship Committee. Beginning March 2023, he is President of the California Academy of Family Physicians. Arianna Campbell, PA-C, is an Emergency Department PA. She is co-founder, Director, and co- Principal Investigator for CA Bridge, making it possible for people who use drugs to get treatment at any hospital—whenever and wherever they need it.
