Mobile Opioid Solutions for Healthcare Integration

what are we up to

Key Initiatives

Mobile Solutions for Rural Communities

Mobile units such as converted vans or buses are uniquely designed to provide services to hard-to-reach populations.

Evidenced-Based Treatment OUD

To help with recovery, we connect patients to other services such as housing/shelter, food, employment resources, counseling, mental health care, primary care, legal identification, and more.

Target Mobile Unit Populations

Lack of transportation, geographic isolation, residence in underserved areas, and difficulty leaving work, school, or home can benefit from mobile OUD solutions.

FDA Approved Medication for OUD (MOUD)

MOUD has shown to significantly improve physical and mental health, help relationships, reunite families, lower rates of criminal activity, and increase the likelihood of employment and stable housing.
