There is a confluence of national and local public policy developments regarding mental health, substance use disorders, and treatment. The federal government, working in partnership with states, addresses behavioral health issues and establishes and enforces minimum standards. States, however, have significant power in making decisions—mental health regulations and available services can look very different from state to state, and even from county to county.
This was part of a partnership between Behavioral Health Association of Providers, Epstein Becker Green, and Nelson Hardiman: offering a winter / spring webinar series that addressed topics highlighting the accelerating legal and policy issues for the behavioral health industry.
Office-based opioid treatment providers are on the front lines of the response to the opioid epidemic, but recent developments in federal and state legislation have significant implications for provider business models and service delivery strategies.
This webinar examines provider capacity issues for medication assisted treatment, the opportunities and challenges of telemedicine for addiction services, and the expansion of innovative service delivery networks including the "Hub and Spoke" system and related models.
