Closing the Gap in Substance Use Disorders Care

Substance use disorder (SUD) — including opioid use disorder (OUD) — is a challenging but treatable chronic condition, yet it remains one of the least consistently managed in the healthcare system. Nearly 49 million Americans experience an SUD each year, but fewer than 1 in 5 receive treatment.1 

Clinicians often recognize early signs of misuse or dependence, but without streamlined referral pathways, many patients are lost between acute care and long-term recovery. The result is higher readmission rates, untreated OUD and preventable overdose deaths—costing both patients and healthcare systems.

Frequently Asked Questions for Healthcare Providers

How does BHG support hospital discharge planning?

BHG partners with hospitals, emergency departments and skilled nursing facilities to provide rapid intake, same-day or next-day admissions and medication-assisted treatment (MAT). This helps reduce avoidable readmissions, lowers uncompensated care costs and ensures patients transition safely from acute care to outpatient recovery. Refer a Patient
