Mobile Overdose Prevention or Harm Reduction Centers
Over 107,000 lives lost to opioids in a single year—that’s the heartbreaking reality of the opioid crisis in the U.S. Behind these numbers are individuals, families, and communities grappling with devastating loss. In this epidemic, timely access to care can mean the difference between life and death. Yet, traditional harm reduction centers, while invaluable, often fall short in reaching those who need help the most.
This is where Mobile Overdose Prevention offers a game-changing solution. Unlike fixed facilities, mobile overdose prevention sites are designed to go wherever the need arises. These innovative vehicles break down barriers, providing life-saving care directly to underserved populations—whether they’re in remote areas, homeless, or too ashamed to seek help at traditional centers.
In this video, Russ Evans from AVAN Mobility explores the critical role of mobile overdose prevention in combating the opioid epidemic. You’ll learn:
- What mobile overdose prevention sites are and the services they provide.
- How their mobility enables them to reach populations that traditional harm reduction centers cannot.
- Why mobile solutions are often more cost-effective and impactful in addressing urgent community needs.
For communities on the frontlines of the opioid crisis, the stakes couldn’t be higher. The flexibility and rapid response capabilities of mobile units not only save lives but also build trust and hope in the communities they serve. Whether it’s delivering medical care, distributing overdose reversal kits, or offering addiction counseling, these vehicles are a lifeline for those most at risk.
At AVAN Mobility, we’re committed to equipping organizations with the tools they need to make a real difference. Our Mobile Overdose Prevention Units are more than just vehicles—they’re a pathway to safer, healthier communities.
