Assessment of Hudson County Opioid Crisis Response Strategy

Hudson County Department of Health and Human Services received funding from the US Department of Justice to implement an integrative wellness recovery approach to (1) better address current needs of justice-involved and non-justice-involved opioid-addicted individuals and their families; and (2) to better understand local trends and factors leading to opioid epidemic in the County so they can be mitigated. Hudson County has tasked CSHP to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the reports submitted by Opioid Fatality Review Teams to identify the patterns and emerging trends and, to the extent supported by the data, make recommendations for policy or practice implementation/changes. Please contact Manisha Agrawal, Senior Research Analyst at CSHP, for more information.
