Mobile Integrated Response Teams
HealthLinc is addressing the opioid crisis with Mobile Integrated Response Teams (MIRT) in Lake, LaPorte, Porter and Starke County.
The teams consist of a peer recovery coach with lived experience, law enforcement, and EMS. They are accessible to individuals with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) through direct referral by a community agency or individual. Upon receipt of a referral, the coordinator reaches out to the client to establish contact and schedule an intake into the program. When intakes are scheduled, established partnerships with local law enforcement and EMS agencies provide volunteers to staff the MIRT visit.
Intakes are conducted in the client’s home environment, if possible. Law enforcement provides security and conducts an environmental scan for safety of the team and client’s living environment. They are not on duty officers and are not present for any legal purposes. EMS conducts a wellness check to assess their physical health. The coordinator completes an intake that includes a biopsychosocial history and the peer recovery coach goes over relapse prevention and recovery plans.
Following the intake, the peer recovery coach maintains contact and provides support to the client for as long as they choose to remain engaged in the program. Social determinants of health, addiction treatment, health care, and pro-social activities are some areas of resource that the peers may provide.
Individuals with Stimulant Use Disorders are also eligible for MIRT referrals.

We create healthy communities.
Same Day Appointments are Available.
