Telehealth is the use of electronic information and telecommunication technologies to provide care when you and the doctor are not in the same place at the same time. If you have smart phone, you already have everything you need to get care or services through telehealth.
Although virtual visits may not be as common as traditional in-person doctor’s appointments, there are a lot of benefits that explain why this type of care is growing in popularity.
Telehealth isn’t a perfect fit for everyone or every medical condition. Make sure you discuss any disadvantages or risks with your doctor. Contact us today to see if your provider is providing telehealth appointments at 772-468-5600, opt. 2.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
The Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program at New Horizons was established in 2017 to address the opioid epidemic impacting individuals, families, and even entire communities across Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee counties. The program is an intensive outpatient service that moves the recovery model from an “abstinence-only” approach to a “harm reduction” approach. Clients receive compassionate counseling, medical assessment, and medications (Vivitrol, Suboxone, Subutex) that prevent withdrawal symptoms while providing an opportunity to improve quality of life. Peers – people who have lived or experienced substance use disorders – are an essential component of the MAT program, offering clients a unique understanding, empathy, and proof that recovery is possible. The MAT clinic, located at 4500 W. Midway Road in Fort Pierce, also distributes Narcan to the community at no cost. Narcan can be an antidote for an opioid overdose. Having Narcan on hand is recommended if you have an opioid addiction or know an opioid addict; it could save a life.
