Much of the care our participants require is for health needs resulting from being unhoused, food insecure, and disconnected from primary care.
In our clinics, medical professionals – nurses, physicians, physician’s assistants, and fellows – lead with the care our participants tell us is best for them. This can include addressing chronic health conditions, providing HIV and Hepatitis C testing, wound care, counseling, on-site buprenorphine as medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and linkage to other addiction treatment programs.
Participants can be screened, prescribed, and treated on-site with buprenorphine while accessing the OPCs or other programs in our buildings. MAT is used to support participants in their recovery from substance use disorder and is also a tool to decrease overdose risk, support tapering goals and manage withdrawal symptoms. Our clinics are staffed by clinicians employed by OnPoint and through our longstanding partnership with Montefiore Medical Center. This partnership supports clinical infrastructure and facilitates connection into the larger hospital system.
