Overdose Response Teams Established

Measurement Period: July-December 2019
This indicator represents the number of Overdose Response Teams (ORTs) established in the St. Louis area (City & County) as a partnership with first responders, outside of healthcare settings. ORTs aim to link people who experience a nonfatal overdose to treatment. Some hospitals have implemented programs to link people that come to the emergency department after an opioid overdose with treatment; those programs are not included in this count.

Why is this important?

Overdose response teams will aim to link people who experience a nonfatal overdose to treatment. ORTs and first responder partnerships will be critical in reaching those who are not transported to the hospital after an overdose.
