Centerstone, a nonprofit health system specializing in mental health and substance use disorder treatments, will host the quarterly Southern Illinois Opioid Response Advisory Council on November 28 from 1-2 p.m. CT on Zoom.
The Southern Illinois Opioid Response Advisory Council was created to help establish a collective understanding of the existing efforts and initiatives occurring in the Southern Illinois region to address the opioid crisis, identify gaps, promote evidence-based strategies and policies designed to combat this public health crisis, and to support the development of  Centerstone's Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) hub-and-spoke model. All sectors of the community are welcome to participate in the advisory council and its meetings.
“It is a great way to stay connected with all of the impactful initiatives and life-changing programs taking place across Southern Illinois,” Stearns said. “If you are passionate about recovery, work in healthcare, have lived experience, or want to discover new ways to get involved in the community, I would recommend joining the Southern Illinois Opioid Response Advisory Council.”

All meetings are hosted virtually and take place over Zoom.
