Guilford County Solution to the Opioid Problem (GCSTOP) Program

A Community-Engaged Response to The Opioid Problem

Like many places across the U.S., Guilford County is trying to determine how to best address the overdose crisis. In 2017 alone, there were over 700 opioid overdose reversals and 80 verified opioid/heroin overdose deaths (EMS, Guilford County, 2017).

The impact on health and loss of life reflected in these statistics underscore the need to address risky use practice and empower people who use drugs to start safer using practices, reduce their use, or stop their use. A partnership between UNCG Department of Social Work and the Government of Guilford County, has implemented a post-overdose response program intended to decrease mortality from opioid overdoses among the opioid user population. In our first year, we heard of over 500 times that the naloxone we distributed was used by a participant to save someone’s life. We connected over 150 people to treatment.

Most importantly, we have built long and meaningful relationships with people who use drugs. Some of our workers are people who formerly used drugs. We have offered kindness, love, and compassion to people who have likely not received any in a long time.
