INTEGRATED
MEDICAL & OPIOID USE DISORDER CARE

Behavioral & mental well-being is an absolutely integral component of health--it is part and parcel of an individual's overall well-being and an important element of life satisfaction. Society has traditionally perceived medical and mental health services as being two separate and distinct areas of care. However, as science continues to progress and as we gain an even deeper understanding of the human and its needs, tendencies, and life trajectory, it becomes all the more evident that indeed all aspects of our lives are interrelated--from emotional and behavioral health to our physical wellness.

The integrated model of care, therefore, is design to address all angles of human health needs. Within this framework patients benefit from highly individualized treatments integrating patient's medical and mental health needs.

El Dorado Community Service Center, American Health Services, and their affiliated entities together form a system of care integrating medical, behavioral and substance abuse treatment services; thus offering a framework with the capacity to provide integrated healthcare services with exceptional quality and vested service dedication. Some benefits of such integrated care include reduced cost, greater continuity of care, stigma reduction, a more robust match between diagnosis and treatment programs, centrality of care provisions, greater degree and ease of accessibility to health care information, coordinated treatment, multifaceted treatment, and an overall emphasis on the care seeker's well-being.

We have a legacy of superior service delivery. Integrated care framework is an addition to our legacy of superior service delivery and dedication to evidence based treatment modalities.
