Medication-Assisted Recovery Mobile Health Units (MMHU)
MMHU subrecipients provide care, distribute opioid use disorder medication, and connect individuals to other recovery services as needed. These populations include individuals with a chronic substance use disorder (SUD) experiencing houselessness, entering the community after incarceration, or living in geographically hard-to-reach communities. Objectives of MMHU-2 funding are to ensure that (1) patients within the priority populations receive immediate care for acute and chronic conditions, including SUD/OUD, wherever it is sought in the service area and (2) transitions to additional recovery services are managed and supported.
MMHU subrecipients are expected to:
Conduct an environmental scan and analysis of needs in their service area.
Plan and deliver MMHU services.
Build community support for MMHU services.
