Beyond fragmentation: building a consensus framework for integrated care in addictions and mental health

abstract

Healthcare service portfolios, unlike benefit catalogs, are fundamental organizational tools in the functioning of the health system. However, addiction healthcare has historically lacked a clearly defined service portfolio, which has led to significant inequalities in the availability of care among the different health departments, both at the regional and national levels. This study analyzes the current situation of the Addictive Behavior Units (UCA) in the Valencian Community, based on a multidisciplinary expert panel, with the aim of identifying the available healthcare services, assessing emerging needs, and proposing strategies for standardization and improvement.

Keywords:

Addiction Behavior Unit, healthcare services, addiction care.
