About Fair Haven Community Health Center
Staffed by board certified addiction specialists and Behavioral Health clinicians with advanced training in the treatment of substance use disorders, our services combine both medication and counseling for patients. All of our services are bilingual.
Care Coordination is an important feature of the services we provide and all patients in our Substance Abuse program receive care coordination consultations as well.
We work closely with community-based partners to facilitate additional treatments for those patients who will benefit. We have a strong working relationship with a local methadone clinic, the Multicultural Ambulatory Addiction Services (MAAS), located just two blocks from our main clinic site. We also partner with a needle exchange program that provides free, clean injection equipment to patients who are continuing to use injectable substances. The clean needle exchange program has standing hours in our community and is accessible by all patients at least once a week.
Treatment Options
Medical treatment involves the prescription of all FDA approved therapies for substance use disorders.
- For Alcohol Use Disorder these include a range of medications for Alcohol Use Disorder that can be taken orally, as well as long acting Naltrexone (Vivitrol).
- For Opiate Use Disorder we care for adolescents, adults, and pregnant women (and their families) suffering from Opiate Use Disorder using Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone) and/or Subutex (Suboxone) as well as other medications used to treat substance use disorders.
- We also use our integrated approach to treat patients using stimulants, hallucinogens, sedative-hypnotics, marijuana, tobacco and other substances of abuse.
