Opioids and Overdose Prevention

OPIOIDS IN DURHAM COUNTY

Overdoses are higher among Black/AA residents than White residents

In 2019, the Durham County Department of Public Health completed a community-wide, door-to-door survey to understand health issues affecting Durham County.  People reported mental health and substance use as the second most important health problem in Durham.  This guide was developed to help Durham community members identify resources that can support the health and dignity of people using substances.
