Addiction Health Services
We conduct scientific research on how to improve the delivery of care for Kaiser Permanente Colorado patients and individuals in the broader community with addiction. Our goal is to rigorously develop and evaluate approaches to improve access to high-quality and patient-centered care for substance use disorders. We also seek to find novel approaches to identify and engage individuals into effective treatment services in diverse settings.
