Sample Letter

To Whom It May Concern: Jane Doe has been under my care for her opioid use disorder for the past 1.5 years. During this time, she has been experiencing homelessness and was experiencing intimate partner violence. While homeless, her drug use escalated, and she was charged with drug-related offenses. Jane is no longer with her previous partner, and she recently got housing through a county program. She is very interested in drug court and is highly motivated to abstain from drug use and hopes to get a job. Our clinic will continue to work with Jane on her psychiatric, SUD, and primary care needs.
