Opioid Overdose Prevention and Support

The number of opioid-related deaths has quintupled in the U.S. in the last decade. This public health emergency is challenging communities everywhere and straining mental health and substance use disorder service systems.

Much is known about how to support recovery from opioid use disorders. People can and do recover—and recovery is possible for everyone. C4 Innovations supports providers in mental health and substance use disorder services in responding to opioid use and supporting people seeking recovery. We work to ensure that recovery supports are accessible to all as we address this epidemic.

Our team includes service providers, trainers, researchers, and people who have experienced mental illness, substance use, trauma, and homelessness. We partner with treatment and prevention experts to ensure coordinated responses.

Our work is grounded in our experience with providing and participating in mental health and addiction services. People with lived experience are at the forefront of our work to ensure real-world expertise is embedded in all we do.
