Substance Misuse and Overdose Prevention 

OD2A: Overdose Data To Action is a nationwide CDC and Department of Health and Human Services funded program that was created to address the overdose crisis in the United States. Pasco County was awarded part of this grant to link our community with services, combat stigma, and guide people onto the road to recovery. Though this program covers all addictions there is a special emphasis on opioid addiction and overdoses.
