Over 80% of the population of focus will have histories of trauma and exposure to violence, 60% will report at least 4 Adverse Childhood Experiences, 80% will report current, moderate to high levels of anxiety and depression. The MAT Program will use a blended collaborative care model, providing clients receiving MAT with concurrent COD trauma-informed interventions, OUD counseling, peer support, medical care coordination provided directly by staff on the MAT team. The MAT Program will be nested within TFC's Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC), which will provide additional services, including Mobile Crisis Outreach, a robust menu of psychosocial and therapeutic groups, as well as case management services that will leverage the CCBHC's partnerships to provide referral and linkage to a wide variety of community services. The Project Goals are: 1) Through the delivery of MAT and integrated COD treatment, improve the capacity of persons with OUD and COD to achieve sustained recovery from COD and to reduce health risks associated with opioid abuse; 2) Improve client engagement in community-based health care and recovery support networks through care coordination, case management and peer support.
