BACKGROUND
Background
In FY 2017-18, Guilford County received a $250,000 special allocation from the NC General Assembly to develop a post reversal follow-up process for patients that suffered an opioid overdose. A contract was developed with the University of North Carolina-Greensboro to offer the program, as well as extend a number of harm reduction strategies into the community. Not all of the special appropriation funds were spent by June 30, 2018 and the remaning $185,529 needs to be re-appropriated to continue the program and fully expend the funds.
