Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C is a disease of the liver that can be life-threatening if left untreated. As a communicable disease, Hepatitis C can be passed on to others. However, Hepatitis C is curable. The providers at GLRC can assist adults with screening for this disease and if diagnosed, provide treatment or an appropriate referral. Hepatitis C treatment is available at both our Marquette and Negaunee outpatient clinics.
Medication Assisted Treatment
Medication assisted treatment, combined with counseling, has been shown to be effective in the treatment of opioid disorders. GLRC’s Medication Assisted Treatment clinic provides medication that can help control cravings and the chemical impacts of substances.
Buprenorphine-based medications are now considered best-practice for treating individuals with opioid dependence. GLRC believes that when combined with comprehensive evidence-based therapies, a continuum of supportive auxiliary services and stringent operational controls, medication assisted treatment can be an effective pathway to abstinence, reducing the negative impact of opioid abuse for individuals and the community at large.
The target population for this treatment program includes those adult clients dealing with moderate to severe Opioid and/or Alcohol Use Disorder. Clients will be thoroughly screened to assess risk and appropriateness for compliance with all program rules and guidelines. Only those patients who can fully comply with the established program components will be accepted for treatment.
Ostomy Care
Ostomies are used for many health conditions and can range from temporary to permanent. GLRC staff will help you through each step of your ostomy journey from pre-operative assessment through surgery, aftercare, and recovery. In most cases, ostomies improve health and lead to one’s ability to enjoy life again after serious illness. GLRC staff can help with logistical concerns, such as ordering supplies, identify a caregiver networks, work with dietary considerations and offer an emotional support network and advocacy, taking into account your lifestyle, responsibilities, goals, interests, and dreams.

Opioid Health Home
Opioid Health Home (OHH) is a program that consists of an interdisciplinary team of providers that help to coordinate, support and assist individuals who have been diagnosed with an Opioid Use Disorder. Clients in the OHH program may receive any combination of services including medical, mental health, substance use disorder, peer recovery and community resource services to provide person-centered care. The OHH team is headed by a Nurse Care Manager who will meet with each OHH enrollee to assess their individual needs and will regularly meet with the team to coordinate and implement the care and needs of each client. The OHH program is open to any client with Medicaid and referrals may be made by their medical provider, and/or therapist.
The Nurse Care Manager will work with the client to identify behavioral and physical health needs and identify goals for treatment. By doing this, the Nurse Care Manager will be able to assist the client with the management of all integrated care needs including primary and specialty medical, behavioral health, housing, educational, vocational, transportation and other community services. The Nurse Care Manager will assist the client in the coordination of care and obtaining referrals for the appropriate services and community support.
