Presentation Summary: People with substance use disorders (SUD) have a higher risk of and poor outcomes from infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. Evidence based treatments for SUD have potential to improve infectious disease care outcomes and also reduce the harms of SUD including overdose. However, a key gap in many infectious disease care settings is an inability to consistently screen and provide treatment for SUD. We utilized results of formative evaluation, to develop and implement a SUD infectious disease care integration model. We will describe the model, implementation processes and outcomes.
