The ORS program exemplifies public health and public safety collaboration at the federal level as demonstrated by the continued investment and support of the program by our core partners, CDC and ONDCP, and through continued partnership with the HIDTA Program and the CDC Foundation. These four partners serve as the backbone of the ORS program and their investments have been critical in creating the program structure and governance to achieve long-term success and sustainability. Partners at the federal, state, local, tribal and territorial levels focus on the reduction of fatal and non-fatal drug overdoses and related harms. These efforts are accomplished through the implementation of evidence-based responses, sharing of data and drug-related intelligence, enhancing prevention efforts and overall collaboration with both traditional and non-traditional partners.

…[ORS] is now a cornerstone of the national strategy to reduce drug overdoses and save lives.
“The Overdose Response Strategy is a great experiment in the power of partnerships. The power — and the limitless possibilities — when public health and public safety agencies, each with their own perspectives and experiences, work together to achieve a shared North Star. The ORS began just a few years ago with a blank sheet of paper — and is now a cornerstone of the national strategy to reduce drug overdoses and save lives. The ORS partnership is strong — and continues to get stronger!”
Chauncey Parker, Director, New York/New Jersey HIDTA
In addition to our core partners, the ORS works alongside other organizations at the national level. The ORS leverages each partner’s respective knowledge, skills, resources and assets, allowing for the development of innovative solutions which may be difficult for partners to develop and implement on their own.
