Partners will be having a meeting with all in network Substance Use Disorder (SUD) providers on Tuesday, September 25, 2018 from 3:30-5 p.m.  This meeting will be to discuss a B3 service definition for Intensive Recovery Supports-Women.

The Intensive Recovery Supports program provides an array of services and supports to pregnant women ages 18 and older, or women ages 18 and older with minor children, who have been diagnosed with a substance use disorder. It is a recovery-based, consumer-focused community program designed to facilitate an individual’s recovery. The focus of this service is to assist persons with substance use disorders to increase their functioning, so they are successful and satisfied in the environments of their choice with the least amount of ongoing professional intervention.

Meeting locations include the following:

Any in network SUD provider interested in the implementation of this service should attend the meeting at one of the above locations.  To register, please email Vanessa Anderson at vanderson@partnersbhm.org with the name, agency name, and email address of the person attending.
