Focus Session

Collaborative Care for OUD with Co-Occurring Mental Disorders in Safety-Net Primary Care

Friday, April 24, 2026
1:30 PM - 2:45 PM PT
Location: Coronado DE, Level 4
This focus session will describe the implementation, patient and provider experiences, and patient outcomes of a clinical trial of collaborative care for patients with opioid use disorders co-occurring with mental disorders in primary care safety-net settings. Combining didactic presentations, audience discussion, and a structured conversation facilitation method, the session will provide lessons learned from a completed trial, as well as a path forward for practitioners looking to implement collaborative care in their practice.

Learning Objectives:

Learners will be able to:
  • Define collaborative care and describe how it was adapted to treat opioid use disorder co-occurring with mental disorders (depression and/or PTSD)
  • Describe findings from a recent completed trial of collaborative care for patients with opioid use disorder co-occurring with mental disorders, including important considerations around patient characteristics.
  • Identify key resources and activities for implementing collaborative care with diverse patient populations and primary care settings, and how the information from the session could be applied in practice, policy, and future research
