FIRST RESPONDERS ? COMPREHENSIVE NALOXONE DISTRIBUTION AND RECOVERY SERVICE INITIATIVE - THE LANCASTER COUNTY DRUG AND ALCOHOL COMMISSION PROPOSES TO IMPLEMENT THE FIRST RESPONDERS - COMPREHENSIVE NALOXONE DISTRIBUTION AND RECOVERY SERVICE INITIATIVE IN LANCASTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. THE PROJECT WILL SAVE LIVES BY REDUCING OPIOID OVERDOSES AND OVERDOSE DEATHS BY INCREASING ACCESS TO NALOXONE; TRAINING FIRST RESPONDERS ON THE USE OF OVERDOSE REVERSAL DRUGS; AND ESTABLISHING AND STANDARDIZING PROCESSES, PROTOCOLS, AND MECHANISMS TO BETTER ENSURE EFFECTIVE REFERRAL TO TREATMENT AND RECOVERY. THE PROJECT WILL SERVE THE POPULATION OF LANCASTER COUNTY, LOCATED IN SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA, WITH A POPULATION OF OVER 550,000 RESIDENTS. THERE ARE 60 MUNICIPALITIES IN THE COUNTY, INCLUDING LANCASTER CITY- THE COUNTY SEAT. WHILE APPROXIMATELY 88% OF THE COUNTY'S POPULATION IS WHITE, THE LATINO POPULATION IN LANCASTER COUNTY HAS GROWN BY 68% IN THE LAST 10 YEARS. THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC IS DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTING THE COUNTY AS EVIDENCED BY A 33% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF DRUG RELATED OVERDOSE DEATHS IN THE COUNTY BETWEEN 2014 AND 2015, AND A 37% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF OVERDOSE/POISONING RELATED EMS CALLS. THREE GOALS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED FOR THE PROJECT: 1) INCREASE ACCESS TO NALOXONE IN LANCASTER COUNTY TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF DEATHS DUE TO OPIOID OVERDOSE; 2) ENHANCE CONNECTIVITY OF SERVICES TO BENEFIT LOCAL OPIOID ABUSERS AND THEIR FAMILIES AT ALL POINTS OF ENTRY INTO THE SYSTEM, AND 3) FACILITATE TRAIN THE TRAINER PROGRAMS IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH TO FIRST RESPONDERS, TREATMENT FACILITIES, AND RECOVERY SUPPORT PROVIDERS TO PROVIDE HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE ADMINISTERING NALOXONE. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, THE PROJECT TEAM WILL WORK TOWARD SEVERAL MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES INCLUDING THE DISTRIBUTION AND TRACK THE USE OF 2000 NALOXONE KITS; WORK WITH FIRST RESPONDERS, TREATMENT FACILITIES, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS, AND RECOVERY HOUSES/EMERGENCY HOUSING TO STANDARDIZE PROCESSES AND MECHANISMS FOR REFERRALS AND "WARM HANDOFFS." THE PROJECT TEAM WILL ALSO DEVELOP A HANDS-ON TRAIN THE TRAINER PROGRAM FOR FIRST RESPONDERS, TREATMENT PROVIDERS, AND RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICE PROVIDERS TO AUGMENT THE PENNSYLVANIA DDAP ONLINE TRAINING MODULE. THE PROJECT WILL BE ADVISED BY THE JOINING FORCES COALITION, A COMMUNITY COLLABORATIVE COMPRISED OF LEADERS OF KEY ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHER COALITIONS WHO ARE COMMITTED TO COORDINATE EFFORTS TO REDUCE DEATHS FROM OPIOID AND HEROIN OVERDOSE THROUGHOUT LANCASTER COUNTY. THE ADVISORY COUNCIL WILL FUNCTION AS A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP TO COLLABORATE WITH THE COMMUNITY TO REDUCE DEATHS FROM OPIOID AND HEROIN OVERDOSE IN LANCASTER COUNTY. COMBINED, THESE EFFORTS WILL RESULT IN IMPROVED OUTCOMES IN THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING IMPROVED ACCESS TO LIFE-SAVING NALOXONE THROUGH DISTRIBUTION AND TRAINING, AND A COORDINATED APPROACH TO REFERRAL AND CONNECTION TO INFORMATION AND RESOURCES. AN ANTICIPATED 275 FIRST RESPONDERS WILL BE IMPACTED PER YEAR, ALONG WITH 5,000 SUBSTANCE MISUSERS/ABUSERS PER YEAR, FOR A TOTAL OF 1,100 FIRST RESPONDERS AND 20,000 SUBSTANCE MISUSERS/ABUSERS IMPACTED OVER THE PROJECT PERIOD.
