Checking in With Dennis Watson on the Impact of Recovery Management Checkups (RMC) in Primary Care Settings

Dennis Watson, Senior Research Scientist with Chestnut Health System, breaks the land-speed record by making an unprecedented third appearance on the Catalyst podcast. We delve into the Recovery Management Checkups (RMC) model, examining its potential to reshape long-term recovery strategies, particularly in primary care settings. We discuss:  How the RMC model works.  How RMC aligns with how substance use disorders should be treated.  How RMC for primary care (RMC-PC) is different from the original model, and what it looks like in practice.  What stood out from his recent study of RMC-PC.  What it will take for RMC-PC to become routine in primary care.  The role of AI in enhancing recovery training/support.
