Introduction <br />The Emergency Mobile Opioid Team in Everett (EMOTE) will meet patients where they are – <br />physically, mentally and emotionally – and bring medicine, counseling and peer support to <br />neighbors who have given up on traditional office-based care. By leveraging experience with <br />both peer outreach and individualized approaches to treatment, EMOTE will: <br />• Increase the number of unhoused individuals receiving addiction treatment <br />• Increase health insurance uptake <br />• Reduce crisis interventions (emergency transfer, 911 calls, arrests) <br />• Provide an alternative municipal response to drug use <br />• Enable inpatient and outpatient treatment via telemedicine or transport <br />II. Program Summary <br />This scope of work outlines a pilot of the Emergency Mobile Opioid Team in Everett, which will <br />introduce an innovative combination of street outreach, MOUD, and uncomplicated medical <br />care that addresses the basic needs of our neighbors suffering from opioid addiction.
