Description

Gabriela Reed, Hansel Lugo, Rachel Adams, and Alexander Walley trace one man path from brain injury to opioid addiction. Their 2024 case report covers a 34-year-old Spanish-speaking patient with severe opioid use disorder and two past brain injuries. Brain injury is common among people with substance disorders and bends their course.

His care team at a community health center learns the injury history and rebuilds the plan around his cognitive gaps. A language-matched doctor and a peer recovery coach anchor the team. A brain injury rehabilitation program joins from the community. The tailored plan engages and keeps him in quality care where standard plans failed. The authors argue that asking about brain injury should be routine in addiction care, with supports to match.
