For Recovery & Harm Reduction

The prescriber for the patients your program got into recovery.

Group treatment got them stable. Now they need a psychiatric prescriber who understands what they came out of, will not flinch at history, and will keep the medication continuity sustainable past the structure of the program.


i.Why this practice

Built for the post-program patient.

  • CARN-AP credentialed: addiction nursing at the advanced-practice level, not a sideline.
  • MAT including buprenorphine-based regimens, integrated with psychiatric care for co-occurring conditions.
  • Harm-reduction informed. No abstinence-only gatekeeping. Patients meet the practice where they are.
  • Relapse is treated clinically, not punitively. Care continues; medication is adjusted.
  • Harm-reduction informed throughout: patients are pointed to local harm-reduction resources when useful.

ii.Harm reduction

Harm-reduction resources.

For participants who need naloxone, syringe services, or peer support alongside clinical care, the practice points to local harm-reduction partners.

If your program coordinates referrals to this practice and you'd like to be in the conversation about formal partnership, call. Partnerships expand based on actual flow, not paperwork.


iii.The handoff

How handoff works.

Quick call from a case manager

5-minute conversation confirms fit and capacity. Most participants seen within the same week.

Records welcomed, not required

Treatment summary from your program, if available, accelerates intake. If not, intake will gather the full picture.

Status update returned

With participant consent, you get a short clinical summary after intake. So your program can keep its part of the work coherent.

Send the patient your program got into recovery.

Continuity matters. The work you did sticks when the next prescriber understands what it took.
