Primary Goal With Opioid Funding Support <br />Our treatment facility in Cabarrus County currently provides and implements many of the <br />outlined services, including evidence -based treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD), recovery <br />housing, and recovery support services. Additionally, we have established internal systems to <br />effectively track our clients' progress while under our care. This positions us well to optimize the <br />funds provided by the county, enabling us to expand our reach and support a larger population <br />of individuals struggling with OUD in the county. <br />While care for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is often fragmentary, SERC aims to promote durable <br />opiate recovery to Cabarrus County residents who lack the resources needed to begin their <br />recovery journey via structured rehabilitation, Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT), recovery <br />housing while in our care, & peer support within the community after leaving our treatment <br />program. <br />In addition, we propose a patient outcome measurement tracking program for individuals with <br />OUD who successfully complete the SERC program, carried out by the peer support staff to <br />provide data regarding changes in the number of overdoses, job stability, family stability, lack of <br />contact with the criminal justice system, & continuation of MAT treatment. <br />Overview: <br />Founded in 2023, SERC has served as a trusted resource for addiction treatment and recovery <br />support in Concord, NC.
