The Vancouver Division of Family Practice, in partnership with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) service providers across Vancouver, is working to improve support and care for patients with AUD in primary care settings. Guided by Canada’s Alcohol and Health Guidelines from the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA), this initiative aims to strengthen case management and social prescribing for AUD, with a long-term goal of reducing pressures on substance use programs in the healthcare system by 2027.

Supported by funding from Shared Care, we are identifying patient needs and system gaps to launch a quality improvement project that enhances care and support for individuals with AUD in our community.

This initiative is in support of the Division’s Mental Health strategy to support the mental health management in primary care.
