Mobile Medication-Assisted Treatment

Substance use disorders are treatable, and Jefferson Center is here to help. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) has proven to be the most effective treatment for opioid addiction, combining medication to stave off the physical symptoms, withdrawal, and cravings, with counseling to help patients address their emotional and behavioral issues associated with addiction.

As an expansion of Jefferson Center’s existing substance use disorder services, the Mobile MAT program provides access to MAT for treating opioid use disorders for people who are unable to get to a traditional brick-and-mortar treatment facility. In addition, it provides connections to Jefferson Center services including senior services, wellness services, and community outreach programs such as suicide prevention trainings and Mental Health First Aid.

The Mobile Services RV is outfitted with room for telehealth, as well as a medical suite. On board the RV will be a Certified Addiction Counselor, a Nurse, and a Peer Specialist, all of whom will help assess the readiness and appropriateness for substance use and other behavioral health services offered through Jefferson Center. The Mobile MAT team will outreach the community on a weekly basis and provide screening and assessments, brief interventions, treatment as well as follow-up care (as needed), and connect members of the community to local services.
