MAT Stabilization and Maintenance Clinic - The Mental Health Center of Greater Manchester’s (MHCGM) proposed MAT Stabilization and Maintenance Clinic will provide expanded MAT services, substance abuse counseling, individual and group therapy, nursing and psychiatric services, as well as linkage and coordination with local resources and recovery coaches, as the next step for persons returning to the community from jail, prison, and short-term or long-term recovery programs. The primary population focus of MHCGM’s MAT Clinic are individuals diagnosed with Substance Use Disorder (SUD), who tend to be of limited resources and ranging in age from 17 to 70 years old. MHCGM’s MAT Clinic will focus mainly on Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders, and SAMHSA’s principles of recovery that stress gaining and retaining hope, understanding of one's abilities and disabilities, engagement in an active life, personal autonomy, social identity, meaning and purpose in life, and a positive sense of self. Our MAT Stabilization and Maintenance Clinic GOALS include: •Increasing MHCGM’s capacity to identify, assess, and successfully treat MAT eligible clients •Increasing referrals from our many communities partners •Ensuring that MAT clients overcome health concerns and make informed health choices •Linking MAT clients care transitions via social determinants •Better engaging and advocating for individuals in need of MAT services Our MAT Stabilization and Maintenance Clinic measureable OBJECTIVES include: •Hiring and training 100% of the MAT Stabilization Clinic employees on all relevant evidence-based substance abuse curriculum within 90 Days of grant approval •Identifying and detailing appropriate work flows for all referrals (e.g. internal, external, and self-referral) within 90 Days of grant approval •Developing all MAT related policies and procedure within 90 Days of grant approval •Receiving # referrals per year from identified community partners annually •Identifying, assessing, and treating 80 to 100 unduplicated MAT clients per year •Conducting # community SUD educational/Anti-stigma opportunities For more than 58 years, The Mental Health Center of Greater Manchester (MHCGM) has been a partner in recovery for New Hampshire residents and their families. Our 400+ employees operate over 30 programs that help 11,000 individuals annually. And while the MAT Stabilization and Maintenance Clinic will target Greater Manchester initially, our program has the potential to become a statewide resource that addresses the 4 dimensions of recovery: Health, Home, Purpose, and Community. In the lifespan of this project, we hope to bring relief to tens of thousands of New Hampshire parents, teachers, business leaders, employees, children and families who experience the challenges of substance misuse.
