San Carlos Apache Healthcare Corporation (SCAHC) intends to offer medication-assisted therapy for treatment of opioid use disorder following the Medicaid Health Home Model, with psychosocial support provided by the San Carlos Apache Tribe Wellness Center, and additional technology-assisted peer support coaching provided by Ascent Powered by Sober Grid (ASG). Over a two-year period, the project will serve 160 individuals suffering from opioid use disorder, providing them with medication-assisted therapy, case management, psychosocial support, and coaching services. SCAHC intends to hire two full-time staff members (a Behavioral Health Project Director and a Psychiatric Case Manager) to operate the TOR program. These staff members will work from SCAHC's primary hospital/ clinic location in Peridot, with travel to see patients at The Wellness Center in San Carlos, the Clarence Wesley Health Center in Bylas, local schools, and other locations throughout the reservation as needed. Consortium partner ASG will provide training to peer support coaches from the tribe, and will connect participants with a social media support network as well as remote coaching sessions via a smartphone app.
