King County Executive Dow Constantine announced a new strategy on Monday to tackle the surge in fentanyl overdoses.
A bag of 4-fluoro isobutyryl fentanyl, which was seized in a drug raid, is displayed at the Drug Enforcement Administration Special Testing and Research Laboratory in Sterling, Virginia, Aug. 9, 2016. Expanding residential treatment, a 24/7 buprenorphine prescribing line, new mobile crisis teams, a permanent sobering center, and more naloxone and testing strips“Substance use disorder is complex, and there is not one single cause, nor one simple solution.
The second priority is behavioral health beds and facilities and the third is overdose medication and fentanyl testing. The fourth is a diverse behavioral health workforce and lastly reduced disproportionality in overdoses. Constantine claims the county will add new facilities, new mobile and outreach teams and create more accessible naloxone and testing strips.
“We know treatment works, and by prioritizing access to treatment, King County is leading with science, expertise, and compassion,” said Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda. “The plan outlined today does all of that and will produce tangible results which is why I’m proud to be partnering with the executive and my fellow councilmembers today.
