The Essex County Outreach team goes out to offer support and resources after an overdose occurs—but this isn’t the only way to access ECO. Essex County Outreach also helps individuals who may be misusing a substance and are at-risk of an overdose or would like assistance navigating treatment options. This includes individuals in recovery who may want to explore a different pathway or access additional resources. An at-risk individual can be identified through self-disclosure, or a family member or loved one can refer them to us.
If you or a loved one is looking for assistance from Essex County Outreach, call any of our 34 Essex County Police Departments and ask to speak with an Essex County Outreach Officer. You can also contact us through the form below, or visit our Facebook page.
