The ‘Hub-and-Spoke’ Model for Addiction Treatment in North Carolina
The NC STAR Network in North Carolina uses a hub-and-spoke model to expand access to addiction treatment by training primary care providers to administer medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). The initiative involves partnerships with three medical hubs and community-based spokes, supported by federal funding and aimed at addressing opioid use disorder in rural areas.
