After reviewing Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) Guidance provided by SAMSHA we have decided to make the following changes:

1. Any Client who is self pay with two week privileges will be able to pick up 28 days worth of medication.
Clients who have weekly privileges will be allowed to pick up 14 days worth of medication
Clients who are daily dosing will be allowed to pick up 7 days worth of medication provided they are stable.
All of the above changes go into effect immediately.
If you are an AHCCCS Client the maximum amount of doses you will be able to pick up is 14 days regardless of privilege level.  Should this change you will be notified.

2. Relapse Prevention, Family Groups will still be conducted as usual on-line via Zoom Meeting In person groups are canceled until further notice. Life skills 2 being held at the Joel D. Valdez Library is Canceled. 

3. ​All counseling sessions will be done via Zoom Meeting when possible.

As a medically Assisted Treatment facility, it is critical that our doors remain open to our most vulnerable populations during this health pandemic.
To ensure we can continue providing the highest quality health care and continue to dispense Methadone we are taking proactive steps to safeguard the health and well-being of our staff and the patients we serve. We have been working diligently with SAMSHA and following all the recommended guidelines to stay in compliance along with following all to CDC recommendations.
 
Specific examples of the precautions Behavioral Awareness Center have put in place are as follows: 
  • All staff members have received infection prevention and control training and are meticulously monitored to ensure compliance.
  • Thorough disinfection and hygiene guidance have been provided and is being monitored.
  • We have increased our level of sanitation by informing our industrial cleaning service to not only do a deep clean which was completed but to be extra diligent with all cleaning.
  • We have restricted internal access to only essential staff and Client traffic into the back office’s is being kept at a minimum.
  • There is a strict screening and triage process in place for all new admits.
  • We are asking Clients to not bring any extra people with them when they come to dose, and we have suspended all groups for thirty days and are offering an on-line relapse prevention group. 
  • We are educating our patients so they will practice good hygiene and social distancing when they do have to go into the community.
With the COVID-19 situation evolving quickly, we will continue to monitor updates from the CDC and Pima County Health Department. The safety of our patients, their families, and our employees is our top priority, and we will remain steadfast in our efforts to reduce any risk associated with COVID-19.

That's Right Chef Anthony is coming back to Tucson to show us all how to prepare not a dinner this time but a gourmet breakfast on a budget. If you remember the last time he was here he showed everyone how to prepare a stuffed chicken breast with stuffed Portobello mushrooms along with a choice of sides such as rice or potatoes all for $4.75 PER PERSON Now that works!
I can't wait to see what he brings us this time. If you would like to attend please let the front desk know and they will get you on the list. Remember March 28th, 2020
