Rice 1977 organization, where we develop these integrated models of care to try to help address the patient's needs," Goel said. Through the CHART grant, Harrington has been able to put behavioral health practitioners in its Charlton and Webster primary care offices and in its emergency room in Southbridge. In the past, if a primary care physician thought a patient might have a substance abuse disorder, he or she would get a referral to a behavioral health provider. The problem is, most patients who received a referral never showed up, Mirhej said. Having a behavioral health clinician on staff means the patients can get the help they need right then. The CHART grant has also allowed Harrington to add navigators, who get to know patients personally, do home visits and drive them to appointments if need be. The hope is that adding navigators and behavioral health clinicians in PCP offices and the ER will reduce re-admittance rates by 15 percent. One of the reasons people stop their substance abuse treatment and go back to using opioids is access to care, or just lack of care. This can be especially challenging in rural southern Worcester County, where transportation is an issue. "Out here, you have people who are just super isolated," Mirhej said. "There are no buses. A lot of people don't have transportation anywhere. Just setting up shop somewhere and saying, 'Everybody come,' doesn't work." Navigators will help solve that problem, he said. Mirhej's ultimate goal is to create a vast network of easily-accessible behavioral health treatment centers throughout southern Worcester County. He also wants to increase access to behavioral health services in schools, add more staff psychiatrists, and look into the possibility of administering suboxone in emergency rooms. - Laura Finaldi Construction of Harrington's new behavioral health in-patient unit is under construction in Webster.
