New York, NY (September 18, 2019) – Coordinated Behavioral Care (CBC), in collaboration with the Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS), will provide Pathway Home™ (PH) care transition services for individuals transitioning into the community from NYC inpatient detoxification and rehabilitation settings. The services will include an enhanced array of high touch, intensive care transition/care management services to increase access to Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) and reduce overdose death through prevention, treatment and recovery activities. Pathway Home™, an award-winning, multi-disciplinary care transitions model, adapted from Critical Time Intervention (CTI), an evidenced-based intervention, provides intensive services during the critical time of community transition. The PH intervention lasts for up to nine (9) months in the community, as individuals become actively engaged with community support services like MAT, social supports, and physical healthcare. The PH team addresses a host of biopsychosocial needs related to community integration and achieving recovery. This includes immediate needs, linking to community services, accompanying to initial appointments, and resolving the barriers and challenges that may arise during a transition to community
care.
