We have medical providers that are certified in delivery of Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD), which is a “whole patient” approach that is aimed at full recovery, including improving patient survival and retention in treatment.

How does MOUD work?
Patients begin treatment with a full health assessment with their medical provider. Your provider will work with behavioral health or substance use professionals to diagnose substance misuse or co-occurring disorder. You will receive education about how MOUD works, the associated risk and benefits of treatments and overdose prevention strategies.
During the treatment process, your provider will closely monitor you to meet your medical, behavioral health, and social needs. Your treatment is an individualized comprehensive treatment program.
