What is Office Based Addiction Treatment?
Our Office Based Addiction Treatment program (OBAT) is open to current and new patients. The program provides holistic care and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in a holistic format. We offer access to peer recovery coaches and group and individual therapy created to meet the needs of those with opioid and alcohol dependencies.

At Family Health Center, each care team works together to support patients through intake, recovery, counseling, community support, and medical care. The OBAT program offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in many forms including Suboxone, Sublocade, Vivitrol and Depade.

Patients interested in the OBAT program are encouraged to give us a call at (269) 349-2641 ext. 515 for a telephone screening.

No. Although we accept commercial insurance, Medicaid and Medicare, the OBAT program is available for uninsured community members as well.
