The NYC Test & Trace Corps recently announced the launch of a Buprenorphine Treatment Pathway to connect New Yorkers struggling with opioid use disorder to treatment with buprenorphine through NYC Health + Hospitals’ Virtual Buprenorphine Clinic.
The initiative will expand drug treatment options offered by the Street Health Outreach + Wellness program to provide comprehensive care for patients with opioid use disorder.
“As a therapist, a public servant, and someone in recovery from opioid addiction, I am proud to be a part of this life-saving care,” said Dr. Rebecca Linn-Walton, senior assistant vice president in the Office of Behavioral Health at NYC Health + Hospitals. “This life-saving treatment needs to be truly accessible to all New Yorkers. This is our chance to help someone change their trajectory.
Providing buprenorphine in the community offers additional care for people living with opioid use disorder, which includes substances such as heroin, fentanyl and oxycodone. SHOW teams can now make referrals to the Virtual Buprenorphine Clinic at NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue, a virtual buprenorphine assessment and prescription program.
“The need for innovative approaches to treat chronic drug use here in NYC has never been greater,” said Stan Vashovsky, CEO of DocGo.“We are hopeful this new Buprenorphine Treatment Pathway will reach individuals with the greatest need, provide the resources they need to overcome substance use challenges, and help save lives.
