SSTAR

The Triage Center at SSTAR is a new service created in response to recommendations of the Governor's Working Group to combat the opioid epidemic in Massachusetts. The goals are to improve immediate access to opioid and other substance use disorder treatment services, to reduce unnecessary use of emergency care system, and to reduce health disparities among those with substance use disorders... The Opioid Triage Center provides walk-in triage services and referrals to various levels of treatment for individuals suffering from the disease of substance addiction. These services include assessments by trained social workers, medical assessments, and facilitated referrals to inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment programs. Additionally, we help family members of individuals with substance addiction find the help that they need in order to support their loved one.
