​"O" Team

​Our purpose is to create and activate a community-wide effort to make a positive and long lasting impact and provide solutions to the Opioid Epidemic in Baytown. 

Just like NASA, the "O" Team will have objectives too and they can be captured in 4 words:

1. EDUCATE:
   Prevention incorporated at each level of learning and at all employment. 
   Resource awareness within the community. 
   Disease approach as opposed to guilt/shame. 
2. COMMUNICATE:
   Message should unify and be inclusive. 
   News, Radio, Email, Social Media, TV. 
   Utilize Baytonians who have a story.
3. REHABILITATE:
   Funding issue must be removed or mitigated - treatment is expensive!\
   Client/patient center(s) with the focus on treatment. Overcome an inpatient NIMBY attitude if it exists. 
4. COLLABORATE:​
   Support law enforcement efforts. 
   Reach out to those imprisoned for drug charges so they too may recover.
