Access Immediate Medication Services
A low barrier approach to Medication Assisted treatment, that focuses on connecting disparity communities and underserved populations with access to Medication for Opioid Use Disorders (MOUD).
Providing initial, but non-emergent, medical consultation for Buprenorphine (Suboxone), Naltrexone (ReVia) and long acting injectable Medication Assisted Treatment (Sublocade/Brixadi/Vivitrol) when appropriate on the same day or next business day, the JADE Wellness Center’s AIMS program offers both telehealth and in-person options. In additional to regularly scheduled visits with a medical professional, all individuals enrolled in the AIMS program will work with a certified recovery specialist to receive ongoing support, linkages to community resources, and assistance in acquiring tools needed to promote a lasting recovery.
The overarching goal of JADE Wellness Center’s AIMS program is rapid, low barrier engagement into treatment and long-term sustainment of sobriety.
