PROJECT SEEKS TO ENHANCE PUBLIC SAFETY AND PUBLIC HEALTH BY TRAINING AND MAKING AVAILBLE NALOXONE (OVERDOSE REVERSAL DRUG) TO ALL FIRST RESPONDERS IN THE AREA. ALSO, PROJECT WILL INCLUDE COMMUNITY. - ABSTRACT The Columbus Consolidated Government is seeking funding to equip first responders in our area with life-saving Naloxone. Currently, no first responders in the area have the medication nor are they trained to use it. The Columbus Consolidated Government seeks to serve over 300 individuals with this program and save at least one hundred lives. The population of focus will be first responders and families of opioid addicts. The project will first train and ensure first responders have Naloxone on hand. At the same time, the program will conduct community outreach to families and friends of opioid addicts to provide education, referrals and life-saving kits. The project will work to train all first responders in the area to include: the Columbus Police Department, the Muscogee County Sheriff’s Office, the Muscogee County Marshall’s office and the Columbus Fire and EMS Department. Once in initial trainings are complete, the Coordinator and the Trainer will work to establish this training as an annual ongoing in service required by local first responders. In addition to the training, statistical analysis will report the continued need for the program and will work towards sustainability through departmental budgeting. If used, first responders will be able to provide referral information on the spot to overdose victims and their families or significant others. This information will include linkages to evidence based treatment facilities in the area, Medication Assisted Treatment facilities in the area and programs like our local Drug Court. As a part of the community outreach program, informational gatherings will be held in the areas of highest need in Muscogee County. Local media outlets and 12-step meeting houses will be used to advertise local events. At said events referral information to treatment centers, education about addiction and recovery and linkages to family resources will be available. Also at these community meetings life-saving kits also containing Naloxone will be made available to addicts and family members of addicts. The goals of the project are: Goal 1.1 : Increase the number of First Responders in Muscogee County with access to naloxone from zero to 75 persons in year 1. Goal 1.2: Increase the number of first responders with access to naloxone from zero to (75) individuals in Year 1, (150) individuals in Year 2, and (225) individuals in Year 3 and 4. Goal 1. 3: Increase the number of first responders trained to identify an overdose and administer naloxone from zero to (75) individuals in Year 1, (150) individuals in Year 2, and (225) individuals in Year 3 and 4. Goal 1.4: Increase the number of community advocates and family members of addicts who have access to naloxone to 50 persons per year. Goal 1.5: Reduce opioid overdose deaths in Columbus, Georgia by 20% annually.
