B. Informational -- Heroin-Opioid Prevention and Education (HOPE) Taskforce Presentation
The Heroin Opiod Prevention and Education (HOPE) presentation was given by Executive Director Karen Ayala of the DuPage County Heath Department (DCHD). The presentation spoke to the many faceted approach that is needed to prevent and treat the opiod disorder that is affecting the population of DuPage County.
Board members were concerned with insurance costs for treatment, the stigma attached to being identified as a user, controlling drug movement throughout the County, and the potential for those who are seeking treatment to be turned away. While these topics were addressed systematically with the recognized efforts that are underway by the DCHD, the Sheriff's Office and task forces - Director Ayala did stress the importance of continuing the momentum for outreach, education, prevention, and treatment.
Member Hart commended the DCHD and the DuPage County leadership for the proactive efforts that are being taken.
The next HOPE meeting is on Friday, April 20, 2018 in the lower level of Building 111.
