A Quick Response Team is a cross sector model bridging social and public services as an innovative approach to providing proactive and reactive outreach throughout Hamilton County. QRTs provide an integrated response to help connect individuals who experience an opioid overdose or illicit drug event with treatment and recovery services.
A QRT often includes first responders (law enforcement, fire and EMS), clinicians and peer mentors (living examples that recovery is possible), varying based on community model and available personnel. Members of the QRT visit the home of a person who recently overdosed and offer support services to the individual and their family. QRT members then follow up to encourage the person to seek treatment and help navigate obstacles to treatment. Individuals and their families rely on the QRT for emotional support, information, coaching, encouragement and resources.
