OBJECTIVE
Outreach teams do not need to wait for a 911-reported overdose to occur to provide valuable services to their community. Some programs have instituted online referral forms, where people who use drugs (PWUD), families, social workers, and other community members can reach out to the program to request services for someone who is in need or high risk. This short training provides an example of an online referral process that has been successfully used in a post-overdose outreach program in Massachusetts. Technical assistance is available from the Implementation Specialist for programs that wish to adopt this approach.
