Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will:

Describe the Mosaic Group framework which includes process and implementation approach that supports success for behavioral health integration across a variety of health care settings.
List key components that support success of statewide initiatives to address the opioid epidemic.
Describe the Reverse the Cycle, Project HEART and SBIRT models that are leveraged across health care systems to address the opioid epidemic.

Presentation Summary: The presentation will discuss Maryland’s statewide approach to combatting the opioid epidemic through integration of universal screening, early intervention, and linkage to treatment across the continuum of care. The Maryland Department of Health (MDH) recognized the need to take a population health approach to address the rising rates of overdose fatalities and partnered with Mosaic Group, to embed and scale evidence-based behavioral health interventions in community and health care settings for systematic identification and intervention with adolescents and adults. Together, they successfully worked with hundreds of partners, changing the conversation about risky substance use and addiction in Maryland.
