Briefly Noted

It's not every day that a nationally known “rehab” offers methadone. Recovery Centers of America (RCA) has opened its second medication‐assisted treatment (MAT) clinic — Bravo Medical — that does just this. “MAT is a vital tool in the battle against opioid addictions,” said Melissa Bishop, RCA national director of MAT, last week. “But many people are still afraid to learn more about it because of the stigma attached to this form of treatment.” The public is invited to tour the clinic on Oct. 16 from 12–2 p.m. At this event, families of loved ones from the southern New Jersey and Philadelphia area can tour the Somerdale, New Jersey, facility; see how medication is administered; and learn about the effectiveness of MAT. RCA offers MAT at its inpatient treatment centers and at stand‐alone MAT facilities such as Bravo Medical and the Trenton Healthcare Clinic. RCA offers methadone and buprenorphine. New Jersey State Medicaid is accepted at Bravo Medical and the Trenton Healthcare Clinic.
