Waukesha County’s plan to reduce the number of opioid overdose deaths in the county focuses on these strategies:
Scanning the county to identify risk and protective factors for all county residents
Offering free trainings open to all county residents on the administration of naloxone, a drug that can reverse an opioid overdose
Distributing free kits containing naloxone to county residents who express interest
Opiate overdose prevention education sessions in the county
Reaching out to opioid users who have experienced an overdose and providing support through the county crisis system
This work plan was announced in May 2017. It is funded by a grant provided by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. The state received a grant from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to prevent prescription drug/opioid overdose related deaths.
