Berks Community Health Center (BCHC) provides personalized recommendations for Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), which is outpatient treatment for substance use problems. We offer Suboxone, Sublocade and Vivitrol to treat addiction. In addition, we offer SMART Recovery groups in English/Spanish for our patients in recovery.
Utilizing harm reduction and holistic models, we provide person-centered services along the road to recovery from substance use disorders. While abstinence is the long- term goal, we recognize that addiction is a lifelong relapsing condition and each patient’s treatment will be individualized.
MAT patients also establish a relationship with their primary care physician at BCHC and have access to all healthcare services we offer, further supporting their recovery goals. Our bilingual (English-Spanish) medical interpreter staff is on-site and translation services are available in all other languages by phone. BCHC offers a sliding fee discount program that ensures inability to pay is never a barrier to receiving the care you need.
The PA Department of Human Services designated Berks Community Health Center as a Center of Excellence (COE). This means that people struggling with an opioid addiction seeking support to improve their quality of life will be assigned to a case manager and/or certified peer recovery specialist. The goal is to assist with obtaining housing, employment, education or any other area which is identified as an area of need.
