Core Competencies for Use of Collaborative Care in the Treatment of Substance Use Disorders: A Psychiatrist’s Guide
The Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) is an evidence-based approach to deliver behavioral healthcare in primary care settings. This model has been adapted to address substance use disorders in primary medical settings. CoCM requires a team of providers; trained primary care providers (PCP) work with embedded behavioral health care managers (BHCM) to provide a range of effective treatment, including evidence-based medication and/or psychosocial treatments. The PCP and BHCM are supported by a psychiatric consultant who engages with the team primarily through indirect care through regular case consultation and treatment adjustment for patients who are not improving as expected. Ideally, a counselor/psychotherapist will be available (internally or externally) to receive referrals when indicated.
