In October, Lianne, Inc., a provider of primary care and Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) services, relocated from 200 Lincoln Street to professional office space at 95 Lincoln Street. "We are pleased to welcome Lianne, Inc. to the AdCare campus," said Jeffrey Hillis, president and CEO of AdCare Hospital.

“MAT is a critical tool in helping those suffering from substance use disorders,” said Mohammad Alhabbal. MD, principal of Lianne, Inc. and medical director at AdCare Hospital. Patients are medically evaluated by the physicians and nurse practitioners at Lianne, Inc. to determine the most appropriate MAT plan that includes referrals for counseling,
shown by evidenced-based science to improve the clinical outcomes of MAT (SAMSHA).
"We look forward to working with AdCare Worcester Outpatient, our new neighbor at 95 Lincoln Street, and other area providers to ensure the best possible care for our patients with substance use disorders,” said Dr. Alhabbal.

PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN THE RECOVERY SUPPORT NETWORK
AdCare's Shannon Korich, APRN-BC presented a poster on Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) in the Primary Care Setting at the Case Management Society of New England's All Eyes on Professional Practice Conference in Southbridge, MA.
By initiating or continuing Medication Assisted Treatment or by referring patients to addiction specialists, primary care professionals play a vital role in the recovery support network. The poster by Mohammad Alhabbal, MD, and Shannon Korich, APRN-BC, supports the need for:
- Primary care involvement in treating substance use disorders (SUDs), including alcohol and opioid use disorders
- Consults with addiction specialists regarding MAT treatment and referrals for MAT
- Multi-disciplinary approach that integrates behavioral therapy, recovery support services, 12--step fellowship, and other peer supports into the MAT plan.
An increase in primary care involvement in the treatment of substance use disorders will lead to expanded treatment and recovery, and a cascade of additional benefits such as improved quality of life, reduced co-morbid conditions, and decreased costs caused by substance use disorders.
