The Mobile Opioid Medication Assisted Treatment or “MOMAT” unit will provide patients the opportunity to receive their Methadone treatment at a Denver Health Community Clinic. MOMAT will provide Methadone dosing locations to complement our primary location at Outpatient Behavioral Health Services (Pavilion K) on the main Denver Health campus. The mobile unit may be more convenient for those living on Denver’s west side or near downtown. The mobile unit will provide counseling, care navigation and peer support. Most importantly, the mobile unit will also provide an opportunity for individuals in treatment to access co-located primary care services, including integrated behavioral health, dental care, family planning, and other services.
Enhancing Hub and Spoke
The Center for Addiction Medicine brings together Denver Health's robust range of opioid treatment services within a “hub-and-spoke” model that integrates resources and clinical expertise, providing a seamless, confidential and supportive journey for patients. Delivering on the “no wrong door” approach, patients who misuse opioids and present to any Denver Health clinic, medical provider or emergency facility, are rapidly connected to treatment and recovery services that best meet their needs.
