Substance Use Response

 The road to recovery is a long and curvy road. We are here to help you navigate it.  We partnered many organizations, including the Kittitas County Recovery Community Organization to help the members of our community on their journey to recovery. Here's what we've done so far! 

For more KCRCO events, check out their website.

Overdose Awareness Day: August 30th, 2022

Additional Information

International Overdose Awareness Day is the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose, remember without stigma those who have died and acknowledge the grief of family and friends left behind. The campaign raises awareness of overdose, which is

one of the world’s worst public health crises, and stimulates action and discussion about evidence-based overdose prevention and drug policy. Join us in honoring those who have been lost to overdose and help raise awareness that death from overdose is preventable.
