Substance Misuse and Overdose Prevention

Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) is a federally-funded program created by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to address the overdose crisis in the U.S.

Duval County received OD2A funding to link our community with services, combat stigma associated with substance abuse, and guide people onto the road to recovery. Although this program covers all overdoses from addiction, there is a special emphasis on opioids.

Program Goals

• Decrease drug overdose death rates (both prescription and illicit drugs) utilizing awareness and education resources

• Decrease rate of substance misuse and addiction

• Decrease rate of emergency department visits due to overdose

• Support our medical community by supplying evidence-based treatment information for substance use disorder and patient targeted informational materials
