Substance Use Disorder in California – A Focused Landscape Analysis
August 26, 2024
HMA found that the substance use disorder treatment system, which sits outside of specialty mental health and mild-to-moderate mental health services, results in an inconsistent and siloed system. The delivery of programs and services across the state vary because of differences in geography (rural, suburban, and urban densities) as well as county participation in the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC-ODS). This landscape analysis provides a deeper exploration into the challenges and opportunities specific to addressing substance use disorder.
The analysis was produced with support from the California Health Care Foundation.
