Project Summary: Pit River Health Service, Inc., which is the healthcare services system of the federally recognized Pit River Tribe of Northeast California, will conduct a two year project aimed at addressing opioid and stimulate use issues in our community. The Project Coordinator is a full time position that is responsible for the day to day program operations. This position will coordinate eight required activity types which will include planning, outreach, education, treatment, and other assistance to Native community members who are affected by opioid and stimulant issues. Work will be coordinated interdepartmentally between our Medical and Behavioral Health departments. The requests for services increased significantly in the last year as has the need for additional resources including a case manager to work with the most at risk community members. We will hire a consultant to provide technical assistance to medical staff and to the clinical staff working directly with clients. Our activities are showing positive results and we are excited to continue and expand treatment and prevention activities.
