What is CORE Network? If an individual in a CORE county overdoses, 911 protocol calls for stabilization while transporting the patient to a specialty hospital with expertise in addiction medicine. Once all emergent health threats are stabilized, the patient’s long term care needs will then be transferred to an expert multispecialty outpatient practice to support sustainable recovery. Patients who have not overdosed but suffer from substance use disorder and want to seek help for their disease can also enter CORE by calling their local county health department for contact information.
The CORE Network Connected Care Model doesn’t only treat the substance use disorder through one pillar like MAT, but through a support system of care that addresses MAT access, secondary impacts of SUD, and treats addiction as a chronic disease, not a finite condition.
