Rural Communities Opioid Response-Implementation - If funded, the activities performed under the RCORP-Implementation award will build on the planning activities such as the needs assessment and gaps analysis completed in the current RCORP Planning grant. The Oswego County Opioid Response Consortium has acknowledged that in order to combat opioid use disorders and misuse in Oswego County that we must coordinate and collaborate our efforts to have the maximum effectiveness on reducing the mortality and morbidity of opioid use. The needs that were brought forward as a result of the needs and gaps analysis under the RCORP Planning Grant provided a foundation for the activities that will be conducted under the RCORP-Implementation award such as; increasing community wide naloxone training and distribution, increasing providers screening for SUD, increasing prevention activities, enhancement of treatment services, development and distribution of recovery resources, and addressing community wide stigma surrounding SUD. The Consortium has a standard meeting schedule, a healthy network of members, and the willingness and dedication to reduce the mortality and morbidity of opioid use in Oswego County. If funded, the activities under the RCORP- Implementation award will allow for the work completed under the RCORP- Planning III grant to be successfully implemented in the target rural service area.
