Montclair’s Street Team Fights Opioid Crisis Before Overdose | Newark News

Published 1 week ago
Description

Montclair’s bold new street team is rewriting the playbook on opioid response—moving beyond emergency care to proactively build trust, educate communities, and connect vulnerable individuals with life-saving support before crises strike. Equipped with naloxone and compassion, this cross-agency unit reaches out to homeless populations and others at risk, offering training, resources, and human connection where traditional services often fall short. No sirens, no judgment—just calm outreach designed to break stigma and turn hesitation into hope, all funded by national opioid settlement dollars aimed at long-term recovery and prevention.
