SERVICES ARE DESIGNED TO ELIMINATE BARRIERS TO CARE AND INCREASE ACCESS TO QUALITY MEDICAL CARE VIA MEDICAL CASE MANAGEMENT AND PATIENT NAVIGATION. OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR, BAILEY HOUSE OFFERED PEER-BASED SUPPORT GROUPS FOCUSING ON HEALTH EDUCATION, RECOVERY, AND RISK REDUCTION. THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAM CONSISTS OF A FOOD PANTRY, PROVIDING FOOD ASSISTANCE VIA GROCERY BAGS FOR CLIENTS AND THE GREATER SURROUNDING COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS NUTRITION EDUCATION THROUGH FOOD AND MEAL PREPARATION DEMONSTRATIONS, NUTRITION WORKSHOPS AND PRINTED MATERIALS.

THE CLINIC OPERATES UNDER A HARM REDUCTION PHILOSOPHY, AND THE "SHOW RATE" FOR PATIENTS IS HIGHER THAN MANY CLINICS, AN EXTRAORDINARY ACCOMPLISHMENT GIVEN THE TARGET POPULATION TYPICALLY BEING DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE.
