What are the responsibilities and job description for the SUBSTANCE USE - ADVANCED PRACTICE REGISTERED NURSE (APRN) position at Circles Of Care?
Program Summary:
Mobile-MAT (M-MAT)
The fundamental purpose of M-MAT is to reduce opioid-related harms by increasing access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Combined with counseling and psychosocial support, MAT is considered the gold standard for treating opioid use disorders (OUD), providing a comprehensive and holistic approach to aid individuals on their path toward recovery. It addresses both addiction’s physical and psychological aspects, providing an integrative and multifaceted treatment pathway.
