Law enforcement officers and other first responders are on the front lines of the opioid epidemic, frequently encountering individuals with substance use disorder and responding to drug overdose calls. In addition to providing an overview of the five models of overdose prevention, response, diversion, and referral most commonly associated with opioid use disorder, this webinar also highlights response approaches in two communities: a Quick Response Team (QRT) program designed to provide overdose follow-up and referrals to treatment and a Handle with Care program that links children exposed to parental substance use or overdose to community supports.
