Here is some information for those of you who have clients that participate in MAT/NTC programs. I'm sure many of you have already been planning for how to support your clients in these programs and are already prepared to support them in helping them maintain access to these needed treatments.
If you have already done this or already had a client activate a crisis plan around this please share your ideas and maybe answer some of these questions.
How did you help your client get access to suboxone/methadone (for example) with the social isolating?
Is there any plans in place to deliver this medication if the client needs to socially isolate?
Does taking these medications place the client in higher risk or worse symptoms?
Looking forward to hearing your ideas!
