Among the nation’s first opioid treatment programs, the Montefiore Wellness Centers are at the cutting edge of advances in opioid use disorder treatment, including buprenorphine treatment, naloxone distribution, peer programming and art therapy. The Wellness Centers’ strong interdisciplinary team approach and research and educational collaborations facilitate patient-centered, evidence-based treatment. We provide integrated primary care, HIV and hepatitis C treatment, psychiatric care and opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment, all at one location.

Launched in 2005 as a collaboration between general internists and a clinical pharmacist at a federally qualified health center in the South Bronx, the Buprenorphine Treatment Network consists of seven community health centers across the Bronx. The network has since expanded to include all teaching clinics for the Internal Medicine and Family and Social Medicine residency programs, and has collectively provided buprenorphine treatment to thousands of people with opioid use disorder.

Addiction Medicine Fellows complete experiential training in a range of clinical settings. Electives are guided by our fellows’ interests, and may focus on public health approaches, people experiencing homelessness or incarceration or adolescent health. With mentorship from nationally recognized faculty, fellows participate in weekly didactic sessions, weekly academic work-in-progress meetings and monthly career-development seminars.
