Conejo Health SUD Navigator
A New Approach to Harm Reduction & Community-Oriented Healthcare
Access evidence-based SUD, MAT, and mental health treatment at your local emergency departments via Conejo Health.
Through the SUD Navigator program, Conejo Health and other community-minded healthcare partners aim to transform the way that substance use disorder (SUD) is addressed and treated in California Emergency Departments.
Program Scope
-
Trusted Support from Qualified Professionals
A SUD Navigator serves as a vital, judgment-free connector between traditional healthcare providers and patients with SUD, many of whom are at risk and/or dealing with underlying mental health issues.
-
Evidence-Based, Stigma-Free Treatment
The emergency departments enrolled in our Bridge Navigator program view SUD as a treatable medical emergency and have been trained in current MAT (Medication Assisted Treatment) standards.
-
Connected Solutions, Referrals, and Free Resources
SUD treatment is not something that occurs overnight. To ensure that patients are supported throughout their entire journey, we provide access to a large catalog of vetted treatment options.
-
Compassionate, Community-Focused Care
The Conejo Health Bridge Navigator Program helps clinicians, nurses, and other hospital staff to effectively assist SUD patients via training programs, harm reduction materials, technical instruction, and other free learning resources.
