National Center for Wellness & Recovery at OSU
NCWR is committed to saving lives and preventing addictive behavior disorders through dynamic research, medical education and innovative patient care. We are unlocking the answers to addiction and pain treatment, creating access for patients across Oklahoma and delivering hope to those suffering from addiction.
A New Location for Patient Care
Thanks to the generosity of The Anne & Henry Zarrow Foundation, our addiction medicine care is now located in the new $60 million+ Legacy Plaza complex. “Our new facilities provide a beautiful place to receive high-quality, compassionate care," shares Kelly Dunn, M.D., executive director of clinical treatment. "The new location allows patients to access many of their current needs including addiction medicine, psychiatry, counseling and family medicine." This new complex is located at 5310 East 31st Street in Tulsa, and we are proud that the NCWR Addiction Recovery Clinic is making it home.
Research in Rural Care
“Rural communities have been adversely affected by the addiction crisis,” explained Julie M. Croff, Ph.D., MPH, executive director of population and clinical research at NCWR. “Compared to urban areas, individuals in rural communities are more likely to be prescribed an opioid and are less likely to have access to the addiction treatment they need.” Through community advocacy, physician education and specialized patient care in rural communities throughout Oklahoma, NCWR is working to prevent substance use disorders and improve access to vital life-saving addiction services.
Prevention Through Education
While addiction treatment initiatives are vital to saving lives, NCWR is also focused on preventing addictive behavior disorders before they start. Our experts are making addiction medicine curriculum available to medical professionals and providing resources to partners and communities across Oklahoma.
