MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT (MAT) OPTIONS

Telehealth/virtual

YHRC offers telehealth appointments to start MAT or answer your questions. We make it easy! We come to you with a laptop, set you up on your own device/phone, or you can come to our office. It can be done in a car, outside, or in the comfort of a home or safe space. Prescriptions for MAT are usually available same day.
Virtual appointments are for buprenorphine only; methadone is not available via telehealth.

in-person appointments

Our team can connect you with various treatment options in our area (or neighboring areas) based on level of care desired. We will work with you to schedule appointments, explain next steps, drive you to your appointments if needed, and answer any questions along the way. Whether it is in-patient rehabilitation, or outpatient treatment, our team is ready to help you navigate these systems of care.

methadone support

If you are interested in Methadone for MAT, our team can provide rides to and from your initial Marysville appointment, peer support and patient advocacy, and ongoing transportation assistance to the local Grass Valley clinic once you're in their system. Whether it is a ride from YHRC or another ride service, we will ensure that you have a way to and from the clinic so that you don't miss your dosage.

No data is collected for this new service to provide people with quick, easy information about MAT/MOUD resources in our area.
