SUN Program Helps Fight Addiction, STDs

Community's Substance Abuse Navigation (SUN) program helps patients struggling 
with opioid and other substance use disorders.

Substance Use Navigation (SUN) LOGOFormerly known as the Bridge program, SUN allows anyone struggling with addiction to simply walk into the Community Regional or Clovis Community emergency rooms and receive Suboxone and other medications to safely control withdrawals, plus counseling and a direct pathway into outpatient recovery services.


Get tested for STDs: Available at Community Regional, our Emergency Department Screening Program (EDSP) provides routine screening for HIV, hepatitis C, and syphilis for eligible patients. Those who receive a positive test result are contacted by our experienced substance use/STD navigators, who provide education, care coordination and links to appropriate medical care and treatment services. The goal of the EDSP is to ensure patients receive timely follow-up care, improve health outcomes, and reduce the spread of infectious diseases within our community.

“Our SUN Program really helps connect people immediately to the medication that helps them with opioid use disorder, and then also the follow up so that they have an appointment and a place to go after they leave our hospital or emergency department ..."   — Dr. Rais Vohra
