For Providers

Many initiatives and strategies have been employed to curb the opioid crisis, including medical providers, prescribers, and others, to support patients with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) or the more broadly defined term, Substance Use Disorder (SUD.) Substance Exposed Newborns (SEN), and newborns diagnosed with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), face many challenges.

Maricopa SHIFT was created in response to the National Opioid crisis, to improve the health and wellbeing of parents and babies affected by substance use disorder in Maricopa County.
