California Hub and Spoke System

As part of the California Department of Healthcare Services (DHCS) Opioid Response projects, the California Hub and Spoke System (CA H&SS) is focused on increasing access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) throughout the state, particularly in counties with the highest overdose rates. The CA H&SS consists of narcotic treatment programs (NTPs), referred to as "Hubs," that provide methadone and buprenorphine for opioid use disorder (OUD) and office-based treatment settings, referred to as "Spokes," that provide buprenorphine and other SUD services for ongoing care and maintenance treatment.
