Integrated care vs usual care for opioid use and infections in veterans
Part of Digestive system, Infections, Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares a combined care approach to standard treatment for veterans with opioid use disorder. It aims to see if integrated care helps manage both addiction and related infections like HIV or hepatitis. This could mean better overall health and simpler treatment.
