Description

​In partnership with the State of South Dakota, Emily's Hope has established the Post-Overdose Response Team in Codington, Minnehaha, Lincoln, Turner, and Yankton Counties. In response to the escalating opioid epidemic, this program is an effort to provide holistic, evidence-based care and support to those who survive an overdose. A post-overdose response team (PORT) is an overdose follow-up program that allows agencies to visit a person who experienced an overdose within 48 hours of the incident. PORTs provide support, education, and access to evidence-based treatment, such as medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and other life-saving resources.
