The Essex County Outreach Teams go 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-disclose or referred by a family member or loved one.
If you or a loved one is looking for assistance from Essex County Outreach and their team you can do so by calling any of our 34 Essex County Police Departments and asking to speak with an Essex County Outreach Officer or contacting us through our website, and Facebook page.
