Reading Hospital Claimed

About Reading Hospital

We have been designated by the PA Department of Human Services anOpioid Use Disorder Center of Excellence.
Centers of Excellence help ensure that people with opioid-related substance use disorder stay in treatment to receive follow-up care and are supported within their communities. These centers coordinate care for people with Medicaid, and treatment is team-based and “whole-person” focused, with the goal of integrating emotional and physical care.
Our Care Coordinators connect individuals to medical and treatment services including substance abuse, mental health, primary care, medication-assisted treatment for addiction, pain management, dental, eye care, and other services they may need.
They work closely with Recovery Support Specialists to identify and provide support in developing a plan to resolve unmet needs such as housing, childcare, education/vocational skills, employment, transportation, clothing, food, health insurance, and recovery-friendly recreation and activities.
Recovery Specialists also:

Assist in establishing health recovery support network in the community.
Provide education, information, and support regarding addiction and recovery to individuals struggling with an opioid addiction, family members, agencies, and community groups.
Meet individuals in the community to assist in transitioning to the next level of care.
Assist in re-establishing and improving family and significant relationships.
