In need of simple access to medications for substance use treatment?

The MAT Walk-In Clinic mostly sees patients who are interested in starting buprenorphine (Suboxone®) for opioid use disorder, but those with stimulant use, alcohol use, and to***co use disorders are also welcome!

What to expect in your first visit:
- Your meeting with a provider will take place in a private room.
- Appointments will last approximately 45 minutes.
- You will complete a few brief questionnaires.
- Your provider may prescribe medications, including buprenorphine, for home initiation.
- You will be given a follow-up appointment for further MAT care.
- Consultation with a social worker as needed

Today's the day!

Give to the UI Addiction & Recovery Collaborate to support clinical services, education, community outreach, and research related to the betterment of Iowans with substance use disorders. Whether you're a Hawkeye, a current Iowa resident, a person in recovery with a substance use disorder, or just a supporter of the advancement of psychiatric care, we ask you to make your mark today. 🎁

"In early recovery, the smallest moments of being seen and heard can change everything. That’s what UI ARC—and especially Dr. Lynch—gave me," recalls Amanda Eleazar, former patient and now our Fellowship Coordinator at UI ARC. "It was the first time I felt like my voice mattered in my healthcare, and that partnership became the foundation of my recovery. I’m deeply grateful for the role UI ARC has played in helping me rebuild my life.”

You can make a direct difference in the lives of Iowans struggling with substance use disorder from your living room with a donation to UI ARC!

Save the date!! 📆

Two weeks from today, Wednesday, March 25, is the 10th Anniversary of One Day for Iowa. 💛🖤

One Day for Iowa is the university's 24-hour online giving day, and a fantastic opportunity to give back. It's a chance to support research and services that benefit Iowans across counties, education levels, first languages, ethnicities, and income brackets; UI ARC specifically served 75 of Iowa's 99 counties in FY 2024-25, and we're aiming higher this year.

As a grant-funded center, we truly do need your support to continue this life-changing work.

Stay tuned to hear from some of our staff and patients about the impact that UI ARC has made.

is excited to announce the launch of the STAR Project (Supporting Teams for Addiction and Recovery), a new statewide initiative funded by the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services through Opioid Settlement Funding.

The STAR Project will elevate Iowa communities' implementation of evidence-based opioid abatement strategies and improve treatment and recovery outcomes for people affected by opioid and other substance use disorders.

Priorities include expanding access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT), increasing the number of community-based programs that deliver or support evidence-based care, and implementing a statewide stigma reduction strategy that centers on humanizing conversations, recovery-ready workplaces, and fewer barriers to treatment. The project's multi-faceted extension service will provide opportunities for connection, learning, and collaboration among those serving and impacted by opioid use disorder (OUD) and other substance use disorders (SUD).

Questions? Reach out to our team at (319) 335-6980, or the project coordinator Tricia at tricia-roberts@uiowa.edu.

Hello partners and friends!

As you may already know, March 25 is One Day for Iowa, the University of Iowa’s 24-hour online giving day.

Gifts to UI Addiction & Recovery Collaborate help us to maintain essential services for Iowans with substance use disorders, from clinical services to community outreach and naloxone handout to education for healthcare providers across the state.

Whether you're a Hawkeye, a current Iowa resident, a person in recovery with substance use disorder, or just a supporter of the advancement of psychiatric care, we ask you to make your mark this month. As a grant-funded center, we truly do need your support to continue this life-changing work!

Every gift made through the One Day for Iowa site in March counts toward this year's total. If recovery resources have made a difference for you or a loved one, please considering showing your support --> http://bit.ly/4cXO5if

Please share this with your networks, and encourage them to pass it along to theirs, and so on... let's get this ripple effect going! 🔃

Together, we can show what’s possible when Hawkeyes come together for one day.

Congratulations to our new Director of Consult Services, Dr. Chris Moreau!

As Director, Dr. Moreau spends about half of his time on the consult service, where he thrives in the day-to-day work of caring for patients and bringing the Addiction Medicine Consult Service (AMCS) to every corner of the hospital.

We are grateful that Dr. Moreau, who is a fantastic clinician and natural teacher, plays such a large role in UI ARC's presence in the main hospital. We're excited for this next chapter for him!

Thank you to the Iowa Heartlanders for hosting us as the Nonprofit of the Game last Saturday! 🏒⛸

We had a great time at Xtream Arena handing out naloxone and selling Chuck-a-Pucks! UI ARC now holds the records for most Chuck-a-Pucks sold in a night (!!), and we are grateful for the volunteers that made it a success.

We hope to return next year, and go Heartlanders!! 💛🖤
