R.E.A.C.H. Mobile Health Services (MHS) is a comprehensive outpatient substance abuse program uniquely designed to deliver medication assisted treatment services to addicts in the communities where they reside. The program expands access to care through the development of full service substance abuse programs or partnerships with existing psychosocial programs and their community service agencies in suburban/rural communities where services are not readily accessible. Current services include assessment and treatment planning, medical, pharmacotherapy, case management, referral, and counseling services. Additional service provision is enhanced through a close collaboration with local health care providers. A full continuum of substance abuse services is provided in a cost effective manner through the delivery of therapeutic services from centrally located fixed sites and the dispensing of medical/medication services from the mobile medical unit.

The R.E.A.C.H. MHS's combined Baltimore Substance Abuse Systems, Inc. (BSAS) grants and HealthChoice program provides services to four hundred (400) patients. All of the BSAS-funded and HealthChoice slots are located at the 2104 Maryland Avenue location with the dispensing sites at Barclay and 23rd Street and Barclay and Camp Street. Services for all these patient slots are limited to adult opioid dependent persons residing in Baltimore city.

Patients admitted to treatment meet the diagnostic criteria for opioid abuse of dependency as set forth in the DSM IV, the Federal regulations governing admission criteria for the use of an approved narcotic drug for substance abuse treatment. Further determinations are made, either through self-report or clinical assessment, as to whether the patient will be able to benefit from outpatient medication-assisted treatment services. No persons meeting Federal admission criteria will be denied admission based on race, religion, marital status, sex, age, ethnic origin, disabilities, or sexual preference.
