Sojourner Opens Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Clinic
Sojourner Recovery Services is now certified to help patients with opioid dependence, using a treatment that can be given in the privacy of our new clinic. This medication helps retain patients in treatment and reduces illicit opioid use by suppressing withdrawal symptoms and decreasing cravings.

Our community is in a serious health crisis: the hidden epidemic of opioid dependence is growing and likely affects the lives of people you know. Opioid dependence is a medical condition that impacts almost 2 million Americans. During the past decade, however, opioids have migrated into the cultural mainstream and have put new populations at risk. This medical condition can sometimes evolve from the misuse of appropriately prescribed medications for the treatment of chronic pain and, at other times, from recreational use. It is currently present in many communities where opioid misuse was virtually unheard of 15 years ago.

The clinic opened in January 2008. If you know someone who is affected by opioid dependence, please refer them to Sojourner for treatment. Please call 513-868-7654 or go here for more information about the clinic www.sojournerrecovery.org/mat.htm
