In partnership with NAMI Sarasota and Manatee Counties, peers working in the Overdose Prevention and Education Program (OPEP) offer direct peer support to program participants as someone who can relate to the experience of living with opioid use disorder. These recovery experts leverage their life experience and professional skillset to empower individuals on their pathway to recovery from opioids, including connection to treatment services and access to medication assisted treatment (MAT).
If you or someone you know is struggling with opioid use disorder and would like to discuss your situation with someone with lived experience, please contact 941-233-7931.
Hours of operation: Seven days a week, 8:00 am – 8:00 pm
All program participants who request peer support must complete a consent form.
