Regional Opioid Advisory Coalitions
Working together to make a difference
About the Coalitions
Regional opioid advisory coalitions include a diverse membership of those engaged with the local recovery-oriented system of care, including prevention, intervention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery support providers; regional recovery councils and coalitions; and other stakeholders.
The coalition has several objectives:
- Meet quarterly to identify local priorities and collaborate on ways to
- Reduce impacts of opioid use and substance use disorders in the region,
- Address equity and inclusion,
- Provide culturally and linguistically competent services and supports, and
- Improve the identified social determinants of health in each region.
- Develop an annual workplan to address institutionalized inequities and improve social determinants of health.
- Develop an annual training and technical assistance plan to support implementation of workplan activities.
