Two innovative programs that are literally taking treatment to the streets are Boston Massachusetts’ Care ZONE, an on-wheels overdose treatment facility, and New Jersey’s Mobile Intensive Care Unit (MICU), paramedics equipped with lifesaving Suboxone.
Picture this: addiction treatment that comes to you, right where you are. That’s the groundbreaking approach discussed in this episode of Cover2 Resources. Dr. Jessie Gaeta and Dr. Shereef Elnahal return to share the innovative ways their programs are breaking down barriers to treatment. Dr. Gaeta, from the Boston Healthcare for the Homeless Program, talks about Care ZONE—a mobile clinic that provides overdose treatment and more, directly on the streets of Boston. Meanwhile, Dr.
Elnahal highlights New Jersey’s Mobile Intensive Care Unit (MICU), where paramedics are equipped with Suboxone, a lifesaving medication for opioid addiction. These programs are a game-changer for those who can't access traditional treatment centers. With personal stories and expert insights, this episode sheds light on how these mobile units are making a real difference in communities struggling with addiction. If you’re curious about how innovative solutions are being deployed to tackle the opioid crisis, this episode is a must-listen.
