RREACT

An Innovative Solution to a Complex Problem

City Council has worked to establish RREACT:

Bringing trauma informed coordination in partnership with the Columbus Police Division, Columbus Fire, the ADAMH board, Southeast Health, Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging, and the Central Ohio Hospital Association. Over the last year, the team consisted of a paramedic and social worker who responded to the hospital emergency room to engage residents who had just experienced an overdose in hopes of linking them with treatment. The RREACT program is the first of its kind collaboration between EMS personnel, CPD officers, social workers, and treatment facilities to combat the ongoing opiate crisis.
