Drug Overdose Prevention Education Response Program

The DOPE Response team is a Community Health Centre lead program, offering assertive evening outreach to vulnerable and isolated community members in the Centretown, Carlington and Somerset West Community Health Centre catchments.  Services focus on increasing access to health promotion, prevention, treatment and harm reduction programs and services among high-risk people who use drugs.

This project builds on evidence-based best practices and our own experiences that recognize the value of having people with lived experience being an integral part of the opioid overdose response.
