Regional Opioid Advisory 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

  1. Reduce impacts of opioid use and substance use disorders in the region,
  2. Address equity and inclusion,
  3. Provide culturally and linguistically competent services and supports, and

  4. 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.
