In a significant move to combat the opioid crisis, San Diego and UC San Diego Health have expanded their opioid treatment program. This initiative builds on a pilot program that began a year ago, funded by a $350,000 allocation from a recent settlement. The program aims to provide comprehensive substance use treatment directly within emergency departments, ensuring that patients receive immediate care during critical moments.
Upon discharge, patients are seamlessly connected to community-based recovery services, facilitating a smoother transition to ongoing support. This approach not only addresses the immediate needs of individuals struggling with substance use but also fosters long-term recovery by linking them to vital resources in the community.
The expansion of this program underscores the commitment of local health authorities to tackle the opioid epidemic head-on, enhancing access to treatment and improving health outcomes for those affected. With these efforts, San Diego aims to create a more supportive environment for individuals seeking recovery from addiction.
