NYS OASAS Prevention of Overdose Through Outreach to Families - The New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (NYS OASAS) Prevent Prescription Drug/Opioid Overdose-Related Deaths Project, titled Prevention of Overdose Through Outreach to Families (POOF), will expand and enhance overdose prevention services in New York.

To that end, OASAS will collaborate with the Partnership to End Addiction to create a comprehensive overdose prevention training. Over the course of five years, OASAS will partner with the New York State Department of Health (DOH) and the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) in order to provide this training and naloxone to their frontline staff in programs such as OCFS managed domestic violence shelters, Healthy Families New York home visiting program, and the Maternal and Infant Community Health Collaboratives.

Furthermore, the SAMHSA Toolkit for Opioid Overdose Prevention will be utilized to guide this process. Through this work, we hope to reach underserved populations by focusing on nontraditional treatment settings, including but not limited to pregnant and parenting women, LGBTQ+ identified persons, tribal communities, and persons experiencing intimate partner violence.

It is expected in the first year of the grant to train a total of 750 individuals in overdose prevention. In year two, this number will increase to 3,000, and thereafter 4,000 people will be trained per year for a total of 15,750 unduplicated persons trained by the end of year 5. OASAS will develop systems and procedures deemed necessary to sustain these proposed services beyond the five-year grant period to continue expanding prevention services.

Specific goals of the Prevention of Overdose Through Outreach to Families include:

(1) Identify areas of greatest need in relation to prescription drug/opioid overdose in New York.

(2) Increase access to opioid and prescription drug overdose knowledge and training in New York.

(3) Increase the number of opioid overdose prevention master trainers in nontraditional settings.

(4) Increase access to overdose prevention trainings and resources in nontraditional, non-OASAS settings.

(5) Increase access to and awareness of treatment services.
