The goal of SOFAR (Supporting Our Families through Addiction and Recovery) is to create a medical home in the pediatric primary care clinic for parents in recovery and their children. SOFAR provides ongoing support for families to enhance child development as well as ongoing support for recovery, with access to specialty care and social services.
SOFAR works to coordinate infants’ primary care visits with any additional care that parents and babies need, to minimize the number of visits required.

Complications from HIV / AIDS
Pulmonary complications are exceedingly common among patients infected with HIV. Moreover, the longer life expectancy of HIV-infected individuals has led to the recognition of many infectious and non-infectious pulmonary complications, including the well-established association between HIV and pulmonary hypertension (HIV-PH). The practice is the referral group for all HIV providers within Boston Medical Center for evaluation and treatment of the pulmonary and mycobacterial complications that occur in HIV-infected individuals.

Substance Use Disorders
The Family Medicine clinic provides care to patients with substance use disorders (addiction to opioids, alcohol, cocaine, and other substances). Providers are trained to initiate treatment with Suboxone, Naltrexone and Vivitrol, and host weekly group visits where patients taking Suboxone can meet with a doctor and a behavioral health specialist to discuss long-term maintenance therapy.
