Opioid Response Program
Overview
According to the CDC, over 100,000 people in the United States died of a drug overdose in 2021. At Catskill Hudson AHEC we are committed to addressing the opioid epidemic as a public health crisis through:
- Community, student, and provider education
- Expanding access to treatment
- Reducing the harm and stigma associated with substance use disorder (SUD)
We collaborate with our community partners to host events that work towards these goals and provide a variety of trainings for healthcare professionals, first responders, and the community.
