The VHA/DoD Clinical Practice Guideline for Management of Substance Use Disorder in the Primary Care Setting consists of five separate algorithms:

• Module A - Primary Care
• Module C - Care Management
• Module R - Rehabilitation - Specialty Care
• Module P - Pharmacotherapy
• Module S - Stabilization

The appropriate algorithm for a patient who has successfully completed detoxification and is interested in further treatment for their SUD is Module R: Rehabilitation - Specialty Care.

The appropriate algorithm for a patient who is unwilling or unable to maintain abstinence following detoxification, and/or who is not interested in entering substance abuse treatment is Module C - Care Management.

Algorithms for all five modules can be accessed at: http://www.healthquality.va.gov/sud/sud_full_601f.pdf
