Currently, a gap exists for uninsured individuals in Dallas County in need of medication-assisted treatment outside of an ambulatory detox for a longer-term. Metrocare Services' Medication-Assisted Treatment Program implements an Ambulatory Detox program where individuals can seek treatment for their Substance Use Disorder (SUD) in an outpatient setting. We recognize the need to expand Substance Use Disorder Services to the entire continuum of outpatient care by offering Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to all individuals who need it most, regardless of coverage. This unique program will assist Metrocare in widening the scope of those who receive services for their Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). The program will serve 40 individuals per year, with 200 served during the project. The goals and objectives of the project are: Goal #1 - Medication Assisted Treatment program participants will complete the program and have established natural supports. Goal #2 - Reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety for individuals experiencing severe levels as indicated by the PHQ-9 and Beck Anxiety Inventory. Goal #3 - Medication Assisted Treatment Program participants will be assessed using the Care Coordination Screening Tool, consisting of sections for Primary Care, Mental Health/Substances, and Social Drivers of Health. Participants will demonstrate a 20% decrease in elevated Care Coordination scores.
