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.
OD2A Program Goals
- Decrease rate of substance misuse and addiction.
- Decrease addiction and drug overdose death rates, including prescription and illicit drug overdose death rates by informing the public about prevention resources.
- Decrease rate of emergency department visits due to overdose.
- Support our medical community by supplying evidence-based treatment information for substance use disorder and patient targeted informational materials.
