The
Quick Response Team (QRT) provides community outreach to those who have suffered an overdose. Teams consisting of a police officer, paramedic and a counselor offer resources for overdose victims and their families, with the goal to connect them to treatment.
Teams are now active in Cuyahoga Falls, Green, Barberton, Norton, Akron, Stow and Tallmadge, which is over 75% coverage of Summit County by population to communities that represent over 80% of overdoses in 2016.
More on how Quick Response Teams are making a difference on the
ADM Board Blog.
