AMERICA ADDICTED - Local Response to Overdose Deaths

"To stop overdose deaths, this response team brings treatment options to your doorstep" PBS NewsHour 1/30/2018

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  Local law enforcement in Chillicothe, Ohio, have found their own way to respond to a slew of fatal opioid overdoses in their community.  The 'Post Overdose Response Team' (PORT) sets out each week to find every person in their county who overdosed the week before and try to get them into treatment.  Special correspondent Esther Honig of Side Effects Public Media has the story.
