The Bridge Clinic at Redington-Fairview General Hospital
The emergency department (ED) at Redington-Fairview General Hospital (RFGH) provides 24-hour access to medication for withdrawal symptoms and overdose.
How does the Bridge Clinic work?
When you arrive at the ED, the medical team will take your vital signs and perform a screening exam along with labs and a urine screen.
Medications to treat Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD), like Suboxone, will be started for patients who are ready. Follow-up treatment and dosing will be provided through the RFGH Bridge Clinic.
Appointments at the Bridge Clinic are scheduled before leaving the ED during open hours or via follow-up calls after hours. The Bridge Clinic provides supportive care for recovery. Once stable, patients are connected to long-term treatment and supports.
Ready for recovery? Visit the ED or call (207) 474-6939 to schedule an appointment.
