Opioid Epidemic & Substance Abuse

Trillium's Efforts in Our Communities

Family playing on the beachNorth Carolina received more than $31 million to address the opioid crisis through the 21st Century Cures Act (State Targeted Response to the Opioid Crisis Grants) in May 2017. The grant was used to increase access to prevention, treatment and recovery supports, reducing unmet treatment needs, and reducing opioid-related overdoses and deaths. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded the grant to the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). North Carolina received $15,586,724 in the first year. Eighty percent of those funds must target outreach, engagement, treatment and recovery services. The funds were divided among the seven LME/MCOs in North Carolina to meet these goals.

As are so many others, Trillium is concerned about the ongoing opioid epidemic evident across our catchment area. As a result of Trillium’s experience with serving this population and discussions with treatment providers, we believe the following steps are necessary to fight this epidemic: 

  • a continuum of intervention points
  • anonymous assessments (both in-person with a clinician and online)
  • a variety of treatment services since one size does not fit all
  • follow-up care that can effectively intervene in an individual’s cycle of drug addiction

Examples of the varieties of treatment services include outpatient treatment, residential treatment facilities, and follow-up and wrap-around services utilizing peer recovery mentors. Trillium works with partners to share community education efforts to assist families and significant others to recognize signs of harmful prescription and opioid use along with available intervention and treatment resources in the Trillium network.

Trillium remains actively engaged in addressing these issues in our catchment area. To learn more about the steps we are taking, view the information below:

North Carolina experienced a 73 percent spike in opioid-related deaths between 2005 and 2015. Opioid overdoses also claimed the lives of more than 13,000 North Carolinians between 1999 and 2015, and four North Carolina cities rank among the nation’s worst for opioid abuse. Two of these cities (Wilmington and Jacksonville) fall in the Trillium catchment area.

The North Caroline Injury and Violence Prevention tracks data from each county in North Carolina on opioid overdoses. The Opioid-involved Overdoses Fact Sheet was created in 2019.

Naloxone is used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose and can be administered by law enforcement officials, emergency medical services, etc. Also known under the brand name “Narcan,” these kits are either inhaled nasal kits or injectable kits. Trillium has worked with law enforcement agencies across our region to deliver thousands of these kits.

Trillium works with many local agencies and providers who focus on recovery, coaching, and mentoring individuals with opioid use disorder. Please view their web pages below for detailed information.
