Decision Tree: When to Refer a Patient

As a trusted partner, you play an important role in helping individuals access care for opioid use disorder (OUD). We designed our Decision Tree to support you when concerns arise and you want to ensure your patient or someone you know receives the right level of care at the right time.

This resource helps make referral decisions feel clearer and more confident – because early action can reduce risk and open the door to recovery. When you identify someone who may benefit from treatment, you’re not just making a referral – you’re helping create a path toward stability, health and hope.

And when questions come up, our team is always available to collaborate and support you.
