substance use disorder (SUD) treatment at all levels

Examples:
➢ Shortages in the number of beds available compared with the demand for
treatment
➢ Levels of care where no treatment is available in parts of the state
➢ Populations that have limited access to critical SUD services

Overall Goals for the
Department’s Capacity Work

developing SUD provider networks in anticipation of
expanded SUD service coverage by Medicaid
