Substance Misuse & Overdose Prevention

OD2A: Overdose Data To Action is a nationwide CDC and Department of Health and Human Services funded program that was created to address the overdose crisis in the United States. Duval County was awarded part of this grant to link our community with services, combat stigma, and guide people onto the road to recovery. Though this program covers all addictions there is a special emphasis on opioid addiction and overdoses.

What should I do if I know someone who abuses opioids or may have a substance misuse disorder?

There is hope. Recovery is possible.

Below are links to resources and information to support those in our community struggling with addiction.
