💊 Ohio's mobile treatment units bring opioid help to rural doorsteps. The state unveiled its first Mobile Medication Units (MMUs) in Chillicothe to deliver lifesaving opioid treatment directly to underserved communities. The initiative will serve seven southern Ohio counties where overdose rates remain highest due to limited access to care. Fully equipped vehicles staffed by medical professionals will dispense medications like methadone and buprenorphine while also providing counseling and case management. Funded by a $1.7 million federal grant, the program expects to serve approximately 200 people in its first year.
