Sarah

Sarah is a 34-year-old single mother of two struggling through her recovery from substance use disorder (SUD). The city health department estimates that thousands of residents in her community are addicted to opioids, with her neighborhood at the epicenter of the crisis.

Childcare responsibilities have forced Sarah to take extra time off work, and her employer cannot support her needed flexibility. Unfortunately, after a year of sobriety, when Sarah unexpectedly loses her job, she relapses.

For the sake of her children and ailing grandfather, Sarah seeks help at a newly built outpatient rehabilitation program in her community.

Staying the Course

Sarah is enrolled in SNAP and other Medicaid programs, so she goes online to see if she is eligible for additional support for SUD. The state she lives in manages State Opioid Response (SOR) grants and has established several outpatient rehabilitation programs.

After Sarah fills out an easy-to-use, web-based screener and behavioral health assessment, she connects with a new case manager who will help coordinate her recovery efforts. Sarah is eligible for the new outpatient, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program, which adds prescription pain relievers used for drug addiction detoxification to counseling and behavioral therapies.

Blue Compass Behavioral Health Case Management

Using the Blue Compass case management solution employed by the state, Sarah’s case manager quickly sends a referral to a contracted treatment provider to begin community-based mental health services. Sarah is immediately provided a series of authorized recovery support services, including mutual aid groups.

As her treatment progresses, the Blue Compass platform sends alerts to Sarah’s medical providers to e-prescribe Narcan and Methadone before her refills run out. Electronic prescriptions, pharmacy details, orders and lab results are all tied together in the system’s treatment planning functionality.

Because time sensitivity is critical in SUD treatment, prevention, and recovery, FEI Systems developed the Blue Compass behavioral health case management solution to bring together a team and a wealth of resources to support member journeys toward long-term sobriety.
