The designation “recognizes a community-based organization or individual whose work goes beyond the norm by developing and applying innovative practices to address the medical, behavioral or social needs of high-risk populations in their service area,” Neighborhood Health said in its announcement.
CODAC, a Providence-based nonprofit, provides treatment, recovery and prevention services for people living with substance use disorders and other behavioral health challenges.
In a statement, CODAC CEO Linda Hurley said that “recognition from health insurers and their national affiliated organizations goes a long way in reducing the stigma associated with opioid treatment and other behavioral health issues.”
Hurley added, “We are fortunate in Rhode Island to have a partner in Neighborhood that is equally committed to taking care of the most vulnerable individuals in our state.”
