Okay, MAT team… we see you. 👀
Consider this a little soft launch because our MAT department has been quietly building something special behind the scenes.
Today, the FBRS MAT team took that work into the community at the Long Beach Rescue Mission, where we distributed more than 70 overdose reversal kits, talked with community members about overdose prevention, answered questions, and, most importantly, connected with people.
Because harm reduction is not about waiting for someone to be “ready.”
It is meeting people where they are, keeping them alive, treating them with dignity, and making sure they know there is a door open when they need us.
That same philosophy is at the heart of the MAT program we are building at Fred Brown Recovery Services: ethical, evidence-based, person-centered care without judgment or unnecessary barriers.
And while our MAT team may be new to the FBRS social feed… they are definitely not new to the work.
Consider this your sneak peek. More MAT to come.
