This clinic will offer Medical Assisted Treatment (MAT) services to vulnerable individuals who are unable to access immediate services and are therefore at higher risk of relapsing and using illicit drugs. The target areas for this program are the Cook County Jail, Stroger in-patient unit and the Emergency Department.
