Learn About the Naloxone Plus Strategy that Connects Overdose Survivors to Treatment

Join the Bureau of Justice Assistance’s Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Program (COAP) team for the webinar “Saving a Life Twice: The Naloxone Plus Solution to Reducing Overdoses and Connecting to Treatment” on Wednesday, March 21 from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. ET. Participants will learn how the Naloxone Plus framework helps “save a life twice” by first reviving an individual who has overdosed and then connecting them to treatment.

The presenters, Jac A. Chalier, National Director for Justice Initiatives with the Center for Health and Justice at Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities, and Lieutenant Tom Fallon, Investigative Commander of the Hamilton County Heroin Task Force with the Amberley Village, Ohio Police Department, will discuss:

  • The newly emerging field of pre-arrest diversion and its role as part of the solution to the nation’s opioid epidemic;
  • The definition of Naloxone Plus and elements of the framework; and
  • The need to connect overdose survivors to treatment.

The Naloxone Plus strategy and webinar are intended for all projects, sites, and jurisdictions responding to overdoses at the intersection of the public health and safety systems. The Naloxone Plus solution can be adapted by a variety of public health and safety groups, including fire and emergency medical services and hospitals.
