Support for Establishing an Overdose Prevention Center in Dane County

SUPPORT

An Overdose Prevention Center (OPC) is a supervised facility where individuals can consume pre-obtained drugs under the watchful eye of trained staff. The primary goal of an OPC is to reduce the harm associated with drug use, prevent overdose deaths, and improve public health and safety. These centers provide clean, controlled environments for drug consumption and immediate access to emergency care if an overdose occurs. Beyond immediate safety, OPCs connect individuals with addiction treatment, mental health care, medical services, and social support, playing a crucial role in the broader strategy to address substance use disorders within communities.
