Williamson Health and Wellness Center's application to expand its MAT program in Mingo County, WV. - Williamson Health and Wellness Center (WHWC), a federally qualified health center, is the primary safety-net healthcare provider serving Mingo County, West Virginia.

Mingo County (pop. 24,471; area 423 sq. miles) is located in southwest WV along the Kentucky border, and the population is primarily rural (90%) with most residents traveling to the city of Williamson (pop. 2,883) for daily needs.

WHWC is proposing to significantly expand its ability to support OUD prevention, treatment, and sustained recovery for individuals suffering from illicit opioid drug use/prescription opioid misuse throughout southern West Virginia. This will be done by building upon a recently established MAT program that includes the use of FDA-approved medications, counseling, screening and assessment, case management, recovery support services, and telehealth services within a fully integrated primary care/behavioral health model.

WHWC is proposing to expand critical access to MAT services to meet the demand among the target population to reduce illicit opioid drug use/prescription opioid misuse, as well as support the full recovery and improved health outcomes of clients using the following evidence-based services:

1) Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
2) Motivational Interviewing/Enhancement
3) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
4) Trauma-Informed Care (TIC)
5) Assertive Community Treatment with Modification (ACT)
6) Peer Support Specialists
7) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
