Care for Substance Use

The objective of the Esperanza Health Centers MAR Team is to provide well rounded care to individuals seeking help for substance use.

 

ABOUT OUR RECOVERY MODEL

The MAR team believes in a person-centered approach where patients are encouraged to set their own goals and play an active role in their treatment. Under a harm reduction model, patients are provided with naloxone education, fentanyl testing kits, and other tools to reduce their risk of overdose or STI’s. By using a wide range of therapeutic tools such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and storytelling, providers help patients begin or continue their recovery journey.
