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:
Ross Croydon Assistant Clinical Director, CADC11, LSAT 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 Due to the presence of COVID-19 coronavirus in our region All Relapse Prevention Groups are suspended until April 21st, 2020 at which time we will re-evaluate and determine when to resume in person group sessions. The online meetings will continue with out interruption. The next online meeting is scheduled for 03/18/2020 at 6:00PM. They were to be held every other week but because of the in person groups being cancelled they will be every Wednesday at 6:00PM.
Thank you for your support in this matter. Ross Croydon Assistant Clinical Director, CADC11 The Rodeo was alot of fun and we had a really good turn out! Thank you for attending it is important to have fun in recovery and to find or rekindle old hobbies. It really does help prevent relapse.
