📣💙💛 We are excited to announce the launch of our new REACH (Rapid Engagement And Community Health) program in partnership with the Des Moines Fire Department! https://www.dsm.city/news_detail_T21_R461.php

REACH pairs peer recovery coaches with paramedics to respond to both urgent medical needs and ongoing recovery support for individuals who have experienced an overdose, as well as those seeking help for opioid use disorder and other substance use disorders.

REACH is funded by Polk County’s Opioid Settlement Fund.
