ONSLOW COUNTY HARM REDUCTION PROGRAM - IN 2016, ONSLOW COUNTY'S OPIOID-RELATED DEATHS MORE THAN DOUBLED TO 36 FROM 15. IN 2017, OUR COMMUNITY PARAMEDIC PROGRAM ADDED OUR HARM REDUCTION PROGRAM TO TACKLE OUR GROWING OPIOID CRISIS BY EDUCATING AND TRAINING CITIZENS AND FIRST RESPONDERS ON THE SIGNS OF OVERDOSE AND PROPER DELIVERY OF NARCAN, AS WELL AS ADDRESSING SOCIOECONOMIC BARRIERS TO SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT AND RECOVERY. WE ARE READY TO EXPAND OUR EFFORTS WITH THE HELP OF THIS GRANT OPPORTUNITY. THIS OPPORTUNITY WILL ALLOW US TO CONTINUE AND EXPAND TRAININGS AND PROVIDE NARCAN TO ABOUT 1,721 LAW ENFORCEMENT, FIRST RESPONDERS, AND OTHER COUNTY EMPLOYEES MOST LIKELY TO COME IN-CONTACT WITH A POSSIBLE OVERDOSE, AS WELL AS REACH OUT TO HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND CITIZENS AND CONNECT THEM TO INFORMATION AND RESOURCES TO EMPOWER THEM TO HELP US REDUCE FATAL OPIOID OVERDOSES. BY EXPANDING OUR REFERRAL PROCESS, OUR PEER SUPPORT SPECIALISTS WILL BE ABLE TO REDUCE UNMET TREATMENT NEEDS AND REDUCE OPIOID OVERDOSE DEATHS THROUGH THE PROVISION OF PREVENTION, TREATMENT, AND RECOVERY ACTIVITIES FOR OPIOID USE DISORDERS (OUDS). OUR COMMUNITY PARAMEDIC HARM REDUCTION PROGRAM WILL: 1) EXPAND TRAININGS TO INCLUDE SCHOOL NURSES, COACHES, ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF, AND SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS; 2) TRAIN SECURITY STAFF AT COASTAL CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE ON THE DELIVERY OF EMERGENCY TREATMENT OF KNOWN OR SUSPECTED OPIOID OVERDOSES; 3) RETRAIN/TRAIN COUNTYWIDE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND EMERGENCY SERVICE PERSONNEL THROUGH AN ANNUAL TRAINING COURSE ON THE CARRYING AND ADMINISTERING OF EMERGENCY TREATMENT WHEN AN OPIOID OVERDOSE IS KNOWN OR SUSPECTED AND SAFETY METHODS TO PREVENT EXPOSURE; 4) TRAIN COUNTY PERSONNEL WITH PARKS AND RECREATION ON THE DELIVERY OF EMERGENCY TREATMENT OF KNOWN OR SUSPECTED OPIOID OVERDOSES; AND 5) INCREASE SUPPORTS TO THE JAIL AND PRISONER RE-ENTRY POPULATIONS WITH AN OUD. ONSLOW COUNTY'S COMMUNITY PARAMEDIC HARM REDUCTION PROGRAM'S PRIMARY TARGET POPULATION FOR THIS GRANT'S REQUIREMENTS OF PROVIDING EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND REFERRAL CONNECTIONS WILL BE ALL FIRST RESPONDERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, AND OTHER KEY COUNTY EMPLOYEES, AS WELL AS NCIS OFFICERS FROM CAMP LEJEUNE, WHO COULD BE EXPOSED TO POSSIBLE OPIOID OVERDOSES. OUR SECONDARY TARGET POPULATION ARE THOSE WHO WILL BE AFFECTED BY THOSE WE TRAIN BY THIS GRANT OPPORTUNITY OF WHICH INCLUDES ALL OF THOSE IN ONSLOW COUNTY WHO STRUGGLE WITH OPIOID DISORDERS. ACCORDING TO MANY SOURCES OF DATA, ADULTS AGED 25 TO 34 SHOWED THE HIGHEST OVERDOSE DEATH RATES, AND MALE OVERDOSE DEATH RATES WERE HIGHER THAN THOSE OF FEMALES. ONSLOW COUNTY'S COMMUNITY PARAMEDIC HARM REDUCTION PROGRAM WILL: RAISE AWARENESS OF THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH USING OPIOID BASED MEDICATIONS AS WELL AS ILLEGAL OPIOIDS, EDUCATE HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS ON TREATMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN THE SURROUNDING REGIONS, INCREASE ACCESS TO MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT THROUGH IMPROVED PATIENT FOLLOW-UP, AND INCREASE TREATMENT AND SUPPORT SERVICES AVAILABLE TO INDIVIDUALS WITH AN OUD RE-ENTERING THE COMMUNITY FROM PRISON.
