Services

 

Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) and support services

Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUDs) help treat withdrawal, increase treatment retention, prevent resumption of opioid use, and overall reduce the risk of related harms, including fatal overdose. These programs provide methadone and buprenorphine, proven to be highly effective for treating OUD.

Specialty Primary Care

Our medical providers specialize in conditions that most impact our participants, such as viral hepatitis and HIV/AIDS. Participants can receive testing and treatment, health education, and care navigation services.

Mental Health Care, including Comprehensive Psychiatric Services

Participants can access individual, family, and group therapy, skill-building groups, and peer support. Our psychiatrists conduct comprehensive assessments and prescribe and manage medication where needed and preferred.  

Vocational Counseling + Support 

Our Vocational Fulfillment Program aims to provide participants with personalized support to achieve economic self-sufficiency and active participation in the community. Individual goals and pathways include education, career, volunteering, and more.

Harm Reduction 

Participants can access a variety of person-centered services to support self-defined goals, regardless of where they are in their recovery journey. This includes opioid overdose prevention training, which prepares participants to respond to the continuing overdose crisis in our communities, and distribution of safer sex and drug use supplies.
