Program Description and Priorities:
The Lane County Opioid Abuse Prevention Program is funded by the State of Oregon (Oregon Health Authority) to reduce deaths, overdoses, and harms from opioids and other drugs through public health and health systems interventions.
The program seeks to facilitate community partnerships, support the development of prevention networks and systems, and promote community connections to treatment services.
In 2023, Lane County Public Health implemented a Fentanyl Aware public awareness campaign. You can follow it here:
