Implementing Strategies to Reduce Overdose Fatalities - Recommendations from the Opioid-Overdose Reduction Continuum of Care Approach (ORCCA)

Please join for a webinar on February 2, 2024 at 3 p.m. ET on key recommendations to reduce overdose fatalities from the Opioid-Overdose Reduction Continuum of Care Approach (ORCCA).

Speakers will provide an overview of the evidence-based practices and accompanying implementation strategies compiled in the ORCCA. The framework was designed as a menu of options for communities to reduce opioid overdose deaths. The science and evidence behind the framework were published in the Journal of Drug and Alcohol Dependence and outlined 3 recommended menus of evidence-based practices: overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND), medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), and prescription opioid safety. This webinar will highlight how partners in Massachusetts, Kentucky, New York, and Ohio implemented the ORCCA, including 19 implementation strategies to reduce opioid overdose deaths. This webinar is sponsored by HEAL Connections, an initiative funded by the NIH HEAL Initiative.
