Henderson Johnson Clinic Hosts SAMHSA/ CSAT Clinic Review
September 3, 2018
On May 25, 2018, the Henderson Johnson Clinic, located in Hartford, hosted a clinical review completed by SAMHSA/ CSAT. Three areas were highlighted by the review team as “exemplary” programming for providing services in a Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) environment. CSAT planned on “sharing nationwide” our model in these domains in an effort to bring such best practices to others across the country. The areas specifically recognized consisted of: (1) Patient access to treatment, (No Barriers), (2) the Group Schedule/Offerings (The “incredible” array of themes covered) and (3), the Pregnancy Services and Curriculum.
