The Academy for Integrating Behavioral Health Into Primary Care

AHRQ’s Academy for Integrating Behavioral Health and Primary Care promotes and supports the integration of behavioral health into primary and ambulatory care settings with a key focus on providing care for patients using substances, particularly opioids, and for those with mental health conditions. The Academy provides playbooks on how to integrate behavioral health, substance use resources, recommended professional practices, topic briefs ranging from opioid use and stimulant use disorders to digital apps to improve access to behavioral health, and many other resources to help primary care clinicians integrate behavioral health.
