Jordana Latozas is an acute care nurse practitioner. While working at a brick-and-mortar clinic, she noticed many patients had a hard time finding transportation to their appointments. So, she founded the Recovery Mobile Clinic in Michigan in February 2020 as a way to bring care to them.

“My husband happens to sell RVs. We put our heads together a little bit and started investigating the mobile model and how it can apply to addiction medicine, and really found that there isn’t a whole lot out there. So we formed the nonprofit and got it going on the road.”

CLARKSTON, Mich. (WXYZ) — Michigan’s first mobile addiction treatment clinic is driving a positive change across metro Detroit.

The program was started by a Clarkston-based nurse practitioner, Jordana Latozas back in 2020 to drive the much-needed help directly to substance abusers....

...Recovery Mobile Clinic makes up to three stops each day. The RV can take up to two patients at a time. It’s equipped with a bathroom and a waiting room. Meanwhile, the ambulance is stationed at larger community locations like homeless shelters, salvation army, and oaks of righteousness among others.

"Some days it's overwhelming, some days it's empowering, it's been an amazing experience. We are just looking to grow this amazing mission and help as many people as we can," said Latozas.

Nurse practitioner Jordana Latozas has a dream to bring care where it’s needed. So the White Lake resident began the Recovery Mobile Clinic.

A nurse practitioner for 10 years, she’s served in addiction medicine for the past six. Before that, she was a registered nurse who worked in pain management and the ICU.

“We are primarily an addiction clinic,” she said, “and 100 percent mobile, on the road, Monday through Friday.”

As the president of the Recovery Mobile Clinic, Jordana Latozas says “it is always a good day to save a life.”

The entity she serves is a mobile addiction, healthcare and COVID-19 vaccine clinic serving Clarkston and the surrounding areas, hoping to expand exposure and awareness of the service for mental health, addiction, and other post-pandemic concerns.

In Clarkston, the clinic visits Calvary Lutheran Church to offer addiction services, COVID-19 vaccines and COVID-19 testing.

“The primary goal of the clinic is to make treatment for opiate and alcohol addiction accessible,” Latozas (pictured) said. “We want to support those going through detox and treatment so they know they have a safe place to go and have access to the treatment they need to maintain their goals of opiate and alcohol free lifestyles.”
