Project Description: SBCYOR aimed to offer more resources for the target population with OUDs who need emergency treatment and recovery services that are accessible, effective, and comprehensive through evidence-based practices by creating community collaborations to appropriately identify and enroll at risk youth with OUDs within our communities, to avoid overdose and possible death. The project was able to provide services and educational programs in hospitals, school districts, community outreach, detention center, drug courts, and behavioral health clinics in our region. SBCYOR utilized and enhanced the efforts of our expert team to create effective community collaborations to appropriately identify and enroll at risk youth with OUD within San Bernardino County, in effort to avoid overdose and possible death while providing services and education in hospitals, school districts, community outreach, detention centers (juvenile and adult), drug courts, and behavioral health clinics.
