Mobile Addiction Treatment Team

The first steps toward recovery can be challenging. MATT’s Van is here to help.

Our goal is to save lives and help people living with opiate use disorder receive professional and peer support and start on Suboxone as quickly as possible.

Street-Side Treatment and Support for Opioid Addiction

Bridges’ MATT’s Van is Connecticut’s first Mobile Addiction Treatment Team for opioid addiction. MATT’s Van reduces the barriers to treatment by offering individuals a way to get help without having to make an appointment at a clinic and wait to be seen by a clinician.

Eliminate Withdrawal Symptoms and Reduce Cravings

MATT’s Van clients are seen immediately by a recovery coach and prescriber; prescriptions for Suboxone are written immediately on the Van with often same-day Suboxone inductions. The medication reduces withdrawal symptoms and the chances of a relapse. Clients will have access to a peer counselor, a Narcan overdose reversal kit, referral to a treatment center like Bridges, and transportation to a pharmacy to fill the prescription.

No Appointment or Insurance Necessary

The service is free and does not require proof of insurance; however, individuals must be over 18 to receive services.

MATT’s Van is parked at locations of high need throughout New Haven County.
