Improving access to direct acting antivirals via a multimodal integrated care program in an addiction medicine clinic

The American Journal on Addictions, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Injection drug use is a driver of hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission, thus integrating HCV care into addiction care is likely necessary for HCV elimination. Here we describe how we integrated HCV care into our addiction medicine (AM) clinic and evaluate its effect on HCV treatment.
