Guest Post: Understanding the RAM Model
One of the most common challenges of substance use services is the length of time it can take for someone to start treatment. For OUD, we know that the sooner someone can be seen and started on medications the more likely they are to remain engaged in treatment and the less likely they are to continue using other drugs. About 10 years ago, leaders in the field began exploring ways to get people in to MAT treatment faster. In 2020, MAT programs in Lamoille collaborated to rolled out the Rapid Access to Medication Assisted Treatment (RAM) model.
2025 OVX Youth Statehouse Rally
This event provides youth with a unique platform to use their voices to educate and inform their peers, key decision-makers, and fellow Vermonters on how tobacco and nicotine products negatively impact their schools and communities.
