Manning Regional Healthcare Center (MRHC) announced that the Recovery Center is the recipient of more than $500,000 in Iowa opioid settlement funding to provide opioid use disorder (OUD) services to patients. This funding will allow to strengthen care to individuals in Carroll, Crawford, Shelby and Audubon Counties, expanding access to intake and outpatient services, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and chronic pain management. A MAT clinic would be established at MRHC, using management practices to reduce opioid reliance and improve outcomes. Another component would be to increase access for Crawford County residents following the closing of Denison’s former outpatient provider by offering on-site intake assessments and transportation to Manning for outpatient and MAT services. MRHC CEO Shannon Black says “this investment allows us to reduce barriers that often prevent rural residents from getting timely, effective care. It strengthens our ability to serve patients close to home while responding to a growing regional need.” MRHC will continue its mission to improve access to care, working with regional partners to reduce the sigma and support lasting recovery for all patients.
