How It Works ?
Addiction Services does not offer Methadone treatment or medically-managed detox. For detox needs, staff will assist clients in connecting with reciprocal detox partner providers. After detox, clients will resume care at Addiction Services. MAT prescribers assess health holistically but do not provide general primary medical care. Clients with healthcare needs are referred to appropriate providers. Pregnant clients receive MAT care from specialists. Individuals with sever mental health concerns may also be referred to specialists for MAT.
