Substance Use & Addiction
In the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, substance abuse services (outpatient) are medical or other treatment and/or counseling to address substance abuse problems (i.e., alcohol and/or legal and illegal drugs) in an outpatient setting by a physician or under the supervision of a physician, or by other qualified personnel.
In addition to the resources listed below, see the SAMHSA-HRSA Center for Integrated Health Solutions for resources on integrated primary and behavioral health services to better address the needs of individuals with mental health and substance use conditions.
