USA. The White Van Prescribing Buprenorphine Outside a Baltimore Jail

In 2017 the Behavioral Health Leadership Institute (BHLI), a Baltimore nonprofit, rented a truck. The large white GMC van sits outside of the Baltimore Central Booking and Intake Center Jail on 300 E Eager Street, four days a week.

The program, called Project Connections at Re-Entry (PCARE), takes a harm reduction approach—including prescribing buprenorphine. (Filter, USA, 25.09.2019)
