Leading up to International Overdose Awareness Day (August 31st) & National Recovery Month (September), Greenwich House has some exciting news to share about our Methadone Maintenance Treatment Program (MMTP).
1. We recently received a generous grant from the NY State DOH to expand our work integrating Hep C treatment into our opioid treatment program (OTP). (See the recent press release). It’s very much in line with Federal, NY state, and NYC’s initiatives to wipe out hepatitis C -- and Dr. Taki is a passionate proponent & thought-leader on the topic.
2. Additionally, we’re excited to announce that we’re renaming our 5-decade old clinic MMTP, The Greenwich House Center for Healing, because want to eliminate the stigma that clients experience when our program name comes up — and emphasize that we’re treating the whole person first and foremost, not just addiction.
NOTE: Starting on August 31st & throughout Fall 2023, New Yorkers will see Dr. Taki featured prominently as part of the upcoming NYC Dept of Health Overdose Awareness campaign on digital billboards & social media (https://www.youtube.com/
