What it reported doing in 2024

Manet offers a variety of programs that address behavioral health and substance use disorders. These include an HIV, std, and hepatitis prevention and testing program, opioid overdose prevention and reversal program, and an office based medication assisted treatment program. The HIV, std and hepatitis prevention program focuses on outreach efforts to educate, screen and, working closely with manet's infectious disease physician, refer into care individuals who are at risk for HIV, sexually transmitted diseases and hepatitis, particularly intravenous drug users. This program dovetails with overdose prevention and reversal program, which provides narcan training and distribution for those at risk for opioid overdose, as well as anyone in the community who is in contact with this population. The prevention team conducts street outreach as well as onsite education at a variety of community venues, including detox and drug treatment programs, recovery/sober homes, homeless shelters and correctional facilities. The team educates more than 7,500 at risk individuals, screens nearly 3,000 patients for stis and hep c, and distributes nearly 1,300 narcan kits annually. In addition, manet offers early intervention and treatment to patients with substance use disorders and those at risk of developing these disorders. Using screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (sbirt), an evidence based practice used to identify, reduce and prevent problematic use, abuse and dependence on alcohol and illicit drugs, manet's health promotion advocate is able to counsel patients and, if needed, refer them for treatment. Manet also offers a medication assisted treatment program for patients with substance use disorders. Manet primary care providers are certified to offer buprenorphine (suboxone) to opioid dependent patients as part of a patient's ongoing care and they may also prescribe injectable naltrexone (vivitrol). A nurse case manager works with the prescribing provider to help manage all aspects of the patients' health and wellness, including screening for opiates, counseling and education, making follow up appointments and referrals. Manet's onsite pharmacy, eaton apothecary, is part of the care team, available to answer questions and ensuring coordination of care.
