Testimonial from a primary care physician in Boston…
|
MCSTAP supports primary care providers in increasing their capacity for, and comfort in, using evidence-based practices to screen, diagnose, treat, and manage the care of all patients with chronic pain, substance use disorders, or both.
|
"I had a lovely and productive conversation with a physician consultant at MCSTAP. He was so amazingly helpful, practical, and flexible. The situation was that my colleague had scheduled a new patient with me, whose opioid dependence from a prior prescription had escalated into addiction and she was asking for help. MCSTAP was completely essential. With the physician consultant’s expert assistance, we came up with an individualized plan and follow-up. This is an amazing service, a real game-changer." |
