Madison County Health Department was one of the first rural health departments in WNC to offer medically-assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals with opioid use disorder. By partnering with Dogwood, the department extended its medications for opioid use disorder and MAT programs to uninsured individuals, communities of color, survivors of intimate partner violence, disaster victims, those with physical and economic challenges, those experiencing homelessness, immigrants, members of the LGBTQIA community and veterans in Madison, Yancey and Buncombe counties.
