Partner Recommendations
The Overdose Prevention Initiative (OPI) works with state and local partners to address the complex and changing nature of the drug overdose epidemic. OPI supports efforts to:
- Collect, analyze, and share data
- Develop and support prevention programs
- Promote harm reduction tools and strategies
- Raise public awareness and provide education
- Encourage safe prescribing and treatment practices
To support these goals, OPI has developed recommendations and resources for overdose prevention and response partners across the state. These recommendations are tailored by partner type: public safety, public health departments, community-based organizations, health care providers and settings, harm reduction organizations, medical examiners and coroners, and public health and forensic laboratories.
