Suboxone Here to Help Program

For people wanting to get off opiates (oxycotin or heroin), the Here to Help Program offers one year of free suboxone for patients that make under 250% of the Federal Poverty Level. (roughly $2,255.00 per month for a family of one, more for a family larger than one)

1. Call the Here to Help program at 1-888-898-4818 and ask for the forms to be faxed or mailed to you.

2. Find a Doctor that perscribes suboxone that doesn't already have 3 patients on the program and have him fill out the Doctor's portion of the form.

3. Fax the forms to 1-888-407-9788 along with tax returns or social security statement of earning for previous calender year.

Resources for Transitional Age Youth at Risk

for Mental Health Disorders: PEI - Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara County Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Services (ADMHS) has developed a program for Prevention and Early Intervention for Transitional Age Youth. The program criteria focuses on those who are 16-25 who are experiencing their first psychotic break, have been diagnosed with a major mental illness (i.e. schizophrenia, bi-polar, major depressive disorder) within the past 12 months, or who are displaying some prodromal (early) symptoms that could be leading to a major and/or chronic mental illness. We provide services to the young person for 12 months which includes psychological interventions such as therapy and medication support services, psychoeducation for the young person and family to increase their understanding, and providing the young person support and connection with community resources toward their career and/or education goals. Prevention involves identifying those who are dispalying the early symptoms. Intervention involves the program team assessing and planning specific interventions toward improving long term outcomes for those who are identified.
