Goal 1: To identify individuals at risk for overdose and engage them in recovery through education and treatment.
Goal 2: To educate community members and stakeholders on Opioid-Use Disorder (OUD), treatment options, methods for preparing for treatment, how to refer, and how to best support individuals in recovery.
Goal 3: To connect individuals with OUD to care coordination services at the healthcare system and within the social services community.
InROC has all of the necessary elements to successfully identify, educate, and connect individuals with OUD to recovery services, as well as, educate and support communities in rural healthcare settings across the state of Indiana.
