4 LANCASTER COUNTY JOINING FORCES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2017, Lancaster Cunty Jining Frces launched as a cmmunity cllabrative with the primary aim t supprt and crdinate cuntywide effrts t reduce the number f deaths frm piid and herin verdses. Jining Frces brings tgether key stakehlders, including cmmunity members, t strengthen existing initiatives acrss all sectrs; identify and address gaps in services and resurces; and implement unified, cmprehensive strategies fr preventin, interventin, and mnitring. Opiid-related verdse deaths cnstitute a serius public health cncern acrss the United States. The crisis at hand encmpasses piid misuse, piid use disrders, and the assciated mrbidity and mrtality, including verdse deaths. In respnse t the piid crisis, the federal United States gvernment declared a natinal public health emergency in Octber 2017, and the State f Pennsylvania declared a statewide disaster emergency in January Lancaster Cunty is nt alne in this crisis, but it displays a higher rate f drug-related verdse deaths than the natinwide average. In 2017, there were 168 drug-related verdse deaths in Lancaster Cunty. 14 Per capita, this is apprximately 31 deaths per 100,000 peple. Frm 2014 t 2017, the number f verdse deaths in Lancaster Cunty increased 180%. This strategic plan prvides an in-depth examinatin f the cntext and challenges related t piid verdse at a natinal and lcal level. T effectively plan and implement effrts t reduce verdse deaths, Jining Frces recgnizes the imprtance f cmmunity engagement, mbilizatin, and cllabratin. T date, we have cnducted cmmunity frums, meetings, interviews, and fcus grups t accurately assess ur cmmunity-wide capacity t cmbat this issue and t determine ur cmmunity needs and pririties (see Appendix A fr a full list f participating rganizatins t date). In this dcument, we explre the current strengths and assets, weaknesses and gaps acrss Lancaster Cunty. This cmmunity is hme t many resurces, preventin prgrams, treatment services, and recvery supprts. Hwever, there are gaps, unmet cmmunity needs, and pprtunities fr imprvement. Overall, there must be a targeted, crdinated, and cmprehensive apprach t enhance ur respnse t the piid crisis. We will utline cncrete strategies based n research that will imprve ur ability t prevent piid misuse, respnd t piid use disrders, and decrease the likelihd f piid-related verdse deaths. Jining Frces aligns these strategies with research and evidence-based practices, especially thse utlined by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administratin (SAMHSA) and the Centers fr Disease Cntrl and Preventin (CDC). The pririties f Jining Frces are: 1. Enhance data cllectin and disseminatin 2. Supprt and strengthen evidence-based preventin and interventin prgrams 3. Implement cmprehensive strategies t unify messaging and saturate the cmmunity with infrmatin 4. Imprve patient safety by encuraging and supprting a cultural change within the medical cmmunity regarding piids 5. Increase access t and utilizatin f treatment services and recvery resurces 6. Strengthen cmmunity awareness, mbilizing effrts, and partnership develpment PAGE 4 STRATEGIC PLAN 2018

5 LANCASTER COUNTY JOINING FORCES OUR MISSION The missin f Jining Frces is t supprt and crdinate effrts t reduce deaths frm piids and herin in Lancaster Cunty. OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES Cllabratin and partnership Transparency and accuntability Recgnizing and building n cmmunity strengths Cmmunity engagement and mbilizatin Strategic, systematic, multi-level methds Data-driven planning and evaluatin Implementing effective, research- and evidence-based prgrams and practices (see belw) INTRODUCTION TO EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE The Evidence-Based Preventin and Interventin Supprt Center, r EPISCenter, has develped a tl t describe prgrams and practices alng a cntinuum f cnfidence (see Figure 1). In this case, the level f cnfidence refers t hw cnfident we are that a prgram r practice will lead t imprved utcmes. Jining Frces supprts the implementatin f research- and evidence-based prgrams and practices. Hwever, in rder t meet diverse cmmunity needs in emergent situatins, innvative, prmising appraches may be apprpriate when used with careful cnsideratin and review. A majrity f ur assessments and strategies in this dcument will emphasize research- and evidence-based prgrams. FIGURE 1. CONTINUUM OF CONFIDENCE PAGE 5 STRATEGIC PLAN 2018

7 LANCASTER COUNTY JOINING FORCES WHAT IS THE ISSUE? This sectin highlights piid-specific infrmatin and statistics t lk clsely at piid verdse deaths and the related issues f piid misuse and piid use disrders. Hwever, we recgnize that this particular crisis is situated within a brader cntext. In sme parts, we will explre this brader cntext by discussing the verarching issue f substance use disrders and assciated data, risk factrs, and prtective factrs. While addressing the immediate threats related t the piid crisis, we als lk t lng-term changes by building ur cmmunity capacity t address all substance use disrders, the rt causes, and the assciated stigma. By planning and implementing strategies fr change that g beynd piids, ur cmmunity can be prepared t respnd as substance use trends may change and t prevent r mitigate new crises that may emerge. TERMS First, it is imprtant t identify cmmnly used terms and the terminlgy used fr the purpses f this dcument. Jining Frces will actively emply language that is medically accurate, nn-stigmatizing, and persn-first (i.e. persn with an piid use disrder). CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS are diagnsable when at least ne mental health disrder (i.e. depressin, anxiety, pst-traumatic stress disrder, etc.) and at least ne substance use disrder ccur simultaneusly. OPIOIDS are a class f drugs that include the illegal drug herin and piids that are cmmnly available by prescriptin as pain relievers. Prescriptin piids can include natural piids (i.e. mrphine and cdeine), semisynthetic piids (i.e. xycdne, hydrcdne, and mrphine), methadne, and sme ther synthetic piids (i.e. tramadl and fentanyl). The CDC identifies and tracks fur categries f piids: herin, natural and semisynthetic piid analgesics, methadne, and ther synthetic piid analgesics. Fr the purpses f this strategic plan, we will mst cmmnly use the term piids t refer t all categries f piids. The term prescriptin piids is used t refer t all pharmaceutically manufactured piids, as they are typically btained in a way that riginated with a prescriptin. OPIOID ADDICTION is typically synnymus with severe piid use disrder. It is a chrnic disease that mst severely affects the brain s reward, mtivatin, and memry prcesses. This manifests in a cmplex cnditin with bilgical, psychlgical, and scial cmpnents and impairments in behaviral cntrl and scial and emtinal functining. In recvery circles, addictin is typically self-defined and identified. In this paper, the term piid use disrder will be used mre ften than addictin t be mre encmpassing. OPIOID DEPENDENCE is a physical state in which an individual is reliant n piids t prevent physical withdrawal symptms. Typically, dependence is als assciated with a develpment f piid tlerance, requiring higher amunts f the drug t btain the same effects. While it can be a symptm f piid misuse r use disrder, dependence can ccur independently. OPIOID MISUSE ccurs when an individual takes piids in any way nt directed by a dctr (i.e. in a larger quantity than prescribed r withut a prescriptin, as in nn-medical recreatinal use). OPIOID OVERDOSE ccurs when an individual cnsumes a txic quantity f piids in excess f what the bdy can prcess. During an verdse, the brain s piid receptrs becme verwhelmed and affect the bdy s central nervus system, which slws and eventually stps breathing and heart rate. Overdses can be fatal r nnfatal and are mst ften unintentinal. PAGE 7 STRATEGIC PLAN 2018

8 LANCASTER COUNTY JOINING FORCES OPIOID USE DISORDER is a specific substance use disrder, classified in the Diagnstic Statistical Manual f Mental Disrders, 5 th Editin (DSM-5) by recurrent use f piids that causes significant distress r impairment in daily living. Sme symptms f piid use disrder include a strng desire t use piids, inability t cntrl r reduce use, piid tlerance r dependence, and cntinued use despite adverse effects n health r scial functining. Opiid use disrders may be classified by severity as mild, mderate, r severe. SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS are characterized in the DSM-5 by the recurrent use f alchl and/r drugs that results in clinically significant impairments in health, scial functining, and vluntary cntrl ver substance use. Substance use disrders are typically classified by the type f substance used (i.e. piid use disrder r alchl use disrder) and by level f severity (i.e. mild, mderate, r severe). Substance use disrders are clinically diagnsable, and this term will be used instead f substance abuse in this plan. BACKGROUND Opiid-related verdses cnstitute a serius natinal public health cncern. In recent decades, the rates f piid use, misuse, use disrders, and verdse deaths have significantly increased. 6,24,25,33 The rate f piid-related verdse deaths in the United States increased 500% per capita between 1999 and The increase in piid-related verdse deaths has been driven by a steady increase in prescriptin piid verdses and large recent surges in illicit piid verdses 5,14,17,33,34 (see Figure 2). Since the late 1990s, there has been a dramatic increase in the prescribing f piids fr chrnic, nncancer pain. 12,25 Frm 1999 t 2010, the increase f verdse deaths mirrred the increase in piid prescribing. 12,33 The availability f herin and ther illicitly manufactured piids have als significantly increased in recent years as these illicit frms f piids have increased in purity and ptency. 27,33,34 FIGURE 2. TOTAL OVERDOSE DEATHS INVOLVING OPIOIDS, BY TYPE OF OPIOID, UNITED STATES, PAGE 8 STRATEGIC PLAN 2018

9 LANCASTER COUNTY JOINING FORCES Prescriptin piids are mst cmmnly prescribed fr chrnic pain relief. 26 While prescriptin piids may be safe when taken fr a shrt perid and clsely mnitred by a medical prvider, there is als risk fr dependence, misuse, disrdered use, and verdse. 12,26 Prescriptin piids cntinue t be invlved in mre verdse deaths than any ther drug. 5,12 In 2016, almst half f all piid verdse deaths invlved a prescriptin piid. 5,14 The mst cmmn types f prescriptin piids invlved in verdse deaths include methadne, xycdne, and hydrcdne. 33,34 Data shws that recent surges in piid verdses are related t herin, fentanyl, and fentanyl-related substances. 24,25,33,34 Fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances are particularly lethal synthetic cmpunds and are increasingly manufactured illegally and mixed with herin r ther drugs. 25,27 The increased availability f fentanyl and increased purity f herin significantly cntribute t the risk f verdse and the dramatic increases in the ttal numbers f drug verdse deaths. 5,27 STATISTICS Natinal data, primarily cllected by the CDC and SAMHSA, is an imprtant tl t understand piid use disrder and verdse. The CDC reprts drug-related verdse death data frm the Natinal Vital Statistics System (NVSS). Fr the purpses f this strategic plan, the number f piid-related verdses is used as an indicatr t track utcmes at the lcal level. The Lancaster Cunty Crner s Office is the primary surce f lcal drug-related verdse death data. All f this available data demnstrates the scpe f the issue, and future data will used t evaluate the effectiveness f effrts in Lancaster Cunty. One f the main pririties f Jining Frces is t cllect data and disseminate infrmatin t the public n its website. A Jining Frces member has been dedicated t identify apprpriate utcme and prcess measures, track prgress, and publicly reprt this infrmatin n a quarterly basis. A SNAPSHOT OF THE UNITED STATES Drug verdse is nw the leading cause f unintentinal injury death in the United States, and it is the leading cause f death amng peple under age Accrding t the CDC, the number f piid verdse deaths has grwn t such an extent that it is influencing verall mrtality rates. In 2015 and 2016, life expectancy in the United States drpped fr tw years in a rw, fr the first time since the 1960s. 15 Drug verdses, amng all unintentinal injuries, replaced lung disease as the third leading cause f death f peple in the United States in A majrity f drug-related verdse deaths invlve sme frm f piid, including legally prescribed piids and illicitly manufactured piids like herin and fentanyl. 6,14,23 The CDC reprts that there were 63,600 ttal drug-related verdse deaths in Abut tw-thirds, ver 42,200, f these invlved piids. On average, 115 peple die every day in the United States due t piid-related verdses. 6,7,14 It is als imprtant t nte that reprted statistics likely underrepresent the actual number f piid verdse deaths. It is difficult t track data related t drug verdse deaths because in abut 20% f verdse fatality cases, the death certificate des nt identify specific substances invlved. 5,43 It is als cmmn fr piids t be used in cmbinatin with ther drugs in cases f verdse, s it is difficult t PAGE 9 STRATEGIC PLAN 2018

10 LANCASTER COUNTY JOINING FORCES determine which drugs caused death, nly which drugs were invlved. 43 Additinally, it is estimated that fr every fatal piid verdse, there are apprximately 30 nnfatal verdses, but these numbers are even mre difficult t track. 11 Since 1999, piid verdse deaths have ccurred mst ften in peple 25 t 54 years ld. Amng this age grup, the age-adjusted rate f drug verdse deaths was abut 35 per 100,000 peple in 2016 cmpared t the verall average f 19.8 per 100,000 peple. 14 In 2016, the rate f verdse death amng men is almst duble the rate amng wmen. 14 The fllwing infrmatin highlights figures frm the 2016 Natinal Survey n Drug Use and Health. 37 This ffers the mst recent natinwide data n issues related t mental health and substance use. OPIOID MISUSE Opiid misuse refers t any nn-medical use f piids. This can include using prescriptin piids nt as directed by a dctr r any use f illicit piids, such as herin. 13 In 2016, abut 11.8 millin peple aged 12 r lder misused piids in the United States, including peple wh misused prescriptin pain relievers and peple wh used herin. 13,37 It is estimated that abut 1 in 4 peple wh are prescribed piids misuse them. 25,26 Hwever, the majrity f peple wh misused prescriptin piids used them withut a prescriptin at least nce in the past year. The mst cmmn reasn reprted fr piid misuse was t relieve pain. 13 Prescriptin piid misuse is a risk factr fr herin use. 25,26 In 2016, 5.6% f peple wh had misused prescriptin piids als used herin, while 67.6% f peple wh had used herin als misused pain relievers. 37 Accrding t the CDC, amng individuals wh recently began t use herin, mre threequarters reprt that they misused prescriptin piids prir t using herin. 26 OPIOID & SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS In 2016, ver 20 millin peple aged 12 r lder wh met the diagnstic criteria fr any substance use disrder. Apprximately 15.1 millin peple meeting the criteria fr an alchl use disrder, while abut 7.4 millin peple had a drug use disrder. Of peple with a substance use disrder, ver 2 millin peple in the United States had an piid use disrder in Amng all peple wh used prescriptin piids, abut 16.7% reprted a prescriptin piid use disrder. 13,37 A persn wh is prescribed lw dses f piids is 15 times mre likely t develp an piid use disrder than smene wh has nt been prescribed piids. Smene wh is prescribed high dses f piids are 122 times mre likely t develp an piid disrder than smene wh has nt been prescribed piids. 16 CO-OCCURING DISORDERS It is als imprtant fr us t highlight c-ccurring mental illness and substance use disrders, as they cmmnly ccur tgether and present cmplex symptms. 20,22,31,41 Individuals with a substance use disrder are 2.7 times mre likely t have a mental illness than the general ppulatin. Additinally, individuals with a mental illness are 3.4 times mre likely t have a substance use disrder than the general ppulatin. 37 In 2016, a ttal f 8.2 millin adults had a mental illness and a substance use disrder that ccurred simultaneusly, r c-ccurring disrders. 37 The cnnectin between mental health and substance use disrders is explred further when we discuss risk factrs.

11 LANCASTER COUNTY JOINING FORCES A SNAPSHOT OF LANCASTER COUNTY & PENNSYLVANIA As f 2016, Pennsylvania is currently ranked furth highest in the natin in the rate f deaths due t drug verdse 5,7 (see Figure 3). The rate f drug-related verdse deaths in Pennsylvania significantly increased frm 26.7 per 100,000 in 2015 t 37.9 deaths per 100,000 peple recrded in This far exceeds the natinal rate f drug-related verdse deaths f 19.8 per 100,000 reprted in ,7 FIGURE 3.

12 LANCASTER COUNTY JOINING FORCES In 2016, drug-related verdse deaths in Pennsylvania ccurred mst frequently amng individuals between 25 and 34 years ld. Apprximately 70% f drug-related verdse deaths in Pennsylvania ccurred in men, and 77% f all decedents were white. 10 In 2016, the Lancaster Cunty Crner s Office 17 reprted that the median age f verdse deaths in Lancaster Cunty was 36 years ld, and a majrity f verdse deaths ccurred amng white males. In 2017, Lancaster Cunty experienced 168 fatal drug-related verdses, r apprximately 31 verdse deaths per 100,000 peple. 17 While sme individuals may be at an increased risk fr verdse, this is an issue that affects all f Lancaster Cunty. By lking at the gegraphic distributin f verdse deaths, we see that virtually all municipalities in Lancaster Cunty are affected by verdse (see Figure 5). 17 FIGURE 5.

Acrss all cunties, the change in deaths frm 2015 t 2016 varied and ranged frm a 37.5% decrease t a 300% increase. 10,11 In Lancaster Cunty, the number f drug-related verdse deaths in increased 45% frm 2015 t This is cmpared t a 33% increase frm 2014 t ,11 PAGE 12 STRATEGIC PLAN 2018

13 NUMBER OF DEATHS LANCASTER COUNTY JOINING FORCES Frm 2014 t 2017, the number f drug-related verdse deaths has increased 180% in Lancaster Cunty (see Figure 6). This shws a steady upward trend in the number f drug-related verdse deaths, largely driven by verdses invlving piids, including prescriptin and illicit piids. 10,11,17,28 FIGURE 6. TOTAL NUMBER OF DRUG-RELATED OVERDOSE DEATHS IN LANCASTER COUNTY, 2014 TO ,11, YEAR OPIOID-RELATED OVERDOSE DEATHS IN PENNSYLVANIA In 2016, 85% f all drug-related verdse deaths in Pennsylvania invlved sme frm f piid, either illicit r prescribed by a dctr. 28 In 2016, fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances were the mst frequently identified substances in all drug-related verdse deaths in Pennsylvania, identified in abut 52% f all drug-related verdse deaths. Herin was the secnd mst frequently identified substance, in abut 45% f all drug-related verdse deaths. 10 Frm 2015 t 2016, there was an increase f 130% in the number f fentanyl mentins and a 23% increase in the number f herin mentins in fatal verdse txiclgy reprts in Pennsylvania verall. 10,11 OPIOID-RELATED OVERDOSE DEATHS IN LANCASTER COUNTY In Lancaster Cunty, a majrity f drug-related verdse deaths invlved sme frm f piid in Herin was the mst cmmnly reprted substance in drug-related verdse deaths in 2015 and ,11 Of all drug-related verdse deaths in 2016 in Lancaster Cunty, abut 53% invlved herin, and 40% invlved fentanyl. Frm 2015 t 2016 in Lancaster Cunty, there was a 170% increase in the number f fentanyl mentins and a 15% increase in the number f herin mentins in fatal verdse txiclgy reprts. 10 EMERGENCIES & HOSPITALIZATIONS LANCASTER COUNTY The Lancaster Cunty-Wide Cmmunicatins Center 18 reprts annual data n the number f emergency calls and dispatches fr a variety f issues in Lancaster Cunty. Accrding t this data, verdse- and PAGE 13 STRATEGIC PLAN 2018

14 LANCASTER COUNTY JOINING FORCES pisning-related calls fr Emergency Medical Services increased significantly frm 2010 t Frm 2014 t 2016, there were ver 5,000 calls t 911 related t drug verdses. In 2017 alne, there were 2,584 emergency medical services dispatches fr verdses r pisning, and there were 1,386 plice dispatches fr verdses r pisning. 18 The Pennsylvania Health Care Cst Cntainment Cuncil reprted that the hspitalizatin rate fr piid verdse was 29.6 per 100,000 Lancaster Cunty residents in the calendar year Statewide, the average hspitalizatin rate fr piid verdses was 31.1 per 100,000 Pennsylvania residents. Reginally, neighbring cunties shw cmparatively lwer rates f hspitalizatin: Berks Cunty 25.4, Chester Cunty 24.7, and Yrk Cunty 28.8 per 100,000 residents. 28 In Lancaster Cunty, 10.5 per 1,000 nenatal stays were substance-related. 28 RISK FACTORS Risk factrs are any persnal r external characteristics that increase the likelihd that an individual may experience a particular utcme. 19 Effective preventin and interventin effrts can fcus n reducing the presence f risk factrs r mitigating their effects. Anyne wh uses prescriptin piids is at risk fr verdse, as is any individual wh uses herin r fentanyl at any time. 39 Mst, but nt all, peple wh experience an verdse have a histry substance misuse r disrdered use. Peple with piid dependence have the highest risk f verdse. 44 Peple with piid use disrders are at a high risk fr verdse, especially fllwing perids f reduced use and reduced tlerance. Peple wh use illicit piids, inject piids, use piids in cmbinatin with ther sedating substances, r take high dses f prescriptin piids are als at a heightened risk f verdse. 14,44 Use f illicit piids, alne r with ther substances, can increase the risk f verdse because these frms f piids are unregulated and have becme increasingly ptent. 27,33 Fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances are much mre ptent than ther piids, leading t especially high levels f risk f verdse and death. 27 Research has identified numerus factrs that increase the risk f substance use disrders. 19,28 It is helpful t examine the risk factrs related t substance use disrders in general, beynd piid use disrders alne. Sme f the mst significant risk factrs related t substance use disrders include: Family histry f substance use disrders Lack f parental supprt r supervisin Family cnflict r vilence Child abuse, neglect, and ther adverse childhd experiences Limited access t resurces r psitive activities Lw neighbrhd/cmmunity attachment Neighbrhd pverty r vilence Lw educatinal cmmitment r achievement Rebelliusness r lw self-cntrl Antiscial behavir (i.e. aggressive behavir r pr scial skills) Friend r peer use f drugs Perceived lw risk assciated with drug use Trauma and traumatic stress High perceived availability f drugs, The 2015 Pennsylvania Yuth Survey (PAYS) reprts that 36% f yuth in Lancaster Cunty are at high levels f risk fr substance use issues.

15 LANCASTER COUNTY JOINING FORCES MENTAL HEALTH & SUBSTANCE USE ISSUES As previusly described, peple with mental health disrders are mre likely than peple withut t experience a substance use disrder, and peple with substance use disrders are mre likely than peple withut t experience mental health disrders. 37 It is imprtant fr us t discuss the cnnectins between mental illness and substance use disrder because these frequently ccur simultaneusly, ptentially psing barriers t treatment, recvery, and verall well-being. 20,22,31,42 C-ccurring mental health and substance use disrders affect ver 8 millin peple natinwide. Anxiety, depressin, and traumatic stress can be predictive f alchl r substance use disrders, and abut 1 in 5 peple with an anxiety r md disrder have a c-ccurring substance use disrder. 37 Bth substance use disrders and mental illnesses have bilgical, psychlgical, and scial cmpnents and determinants, and the relatinship between these disrders is ften cmplex and intertwined. 20,31,39 Mental illness des nt necessarily cause substance use disrders, r vice versa. Hwever, there are pathways that cnnect mental illness and substance use. Fr example, mental illness may increase the chances f substance use as a frm f cping. Additinally, substance use r misuse may increase r exacerbate the risk r severity f mental illnesses and their symptms. 31,39 Mental illness and substance use disrders have cmmn risk and prtective factrs as well as barriers t treatment. 20,22,31 Sme f the mst recgnized factrs that cntribute t bth mental illness and substance use disrders are predispsing genetic vulnerabilities and envirnmental triggers, especially trauma and traumatic stress. 31 Trauma frequently underlies c-ccurring disrders. A histry f trauma is strngly assciated with bth mental health and substance use disrders. 31 PROTECTIVE FACTORS Prtective factrs are persnal r external cnditins that decrease the likelihd an individual may experience a particular utcme. A variety f prtective factrs mitigate the risk f piid misuse, use disrders, and verdse. Many evidence-based interventins aim t enhance prtective factrs and resilience in rder t buffer risk factrs and reduce piid misuse and its related cnsequences. Fr the purpses f this dcument, we bradly categrize prtective factrs as individual behaviral and cgnitive factrs, family and peer factrs, and cmmunity factrs.

16 LANCASTER COUNTY JOINING FORCES WHAT IS OUR FRAMEWORK FOR ACTION? Jining Frces aims t address piid use cncerns and piid-related verdse with a strategic, cmprehensive, evidence-based apprach t meet immediate needs in this crisis, build ur cmmunity capacity, and establish lng-term strategies fr preventin and lasting healthy utcmes. Fr ur cllective actins, the fllwing framewrk serves t guide assessments f the current strengths, resurces, and gaps in ur cmmunity; the planning f interventin strategies; the implementatin f these strategies; and nging evaluatin. The Cntinuum f Care mdel is the fundatin f ur framewrk fr actin (see Figure 7). This is a cmprehensive apprach develped by the Institute f Medicine and SAMHSA 38 that ges beynd a traditinal treatment-nly cntinuum f care t integrate all levels f health prmtin, preventin, and interventin t prevent and mitigate substance use disrders and supprt sustained recvery and lngterm wellness. FIGURE 7. CONTINUUM OF CARE Health prmtin strategies create cnditins in the envirnment that prmte healthy living and reinfrce all preventin and interventin effrts. Preventin is a crucial cmpnent acrss all stages f the cntinuum. The range f preventin effrts aims t enhance prtective factrs and reduce the risk f substance use disrders, verdse, and ther adverse utcmes. Treatment and recvery services assist individuals wh have experienced substance use issues thrugh clinical interventins and cmmunity-based supprt services. Evidence-based interventin prgrams and services can help individuals with substance use disrders t recver, heal, and live prductive and healthy lives. Fr this strategic planning prcess, Jining Frces incrprates SAMHSA s Strategic Preventin Framewrk (see Figure 8) as a way t integrate the Cntinuum f Care acrss all planning and implementatin effrts. 36 The Strategic Preventin Framewrk is data-driven and fcused n ppulatin-level change fr peple f all ages.

In Flrida, New Yrk, Tennessee, and Oregn, regulatins and regular use f PDMPs have resulted in decreased rates f verdse and verdse deaths. Oregn has implemented sme f the mst cmprehensive preventin strategies by requiring PDMP use, requiring prir authrizatins fr methadne, ensuring training and access t nalxne, and training dctrs in safe and effective pain management. They saw a 38% decrease in prescriptin piid verdse deaths between 2006 and 2013, and a 58% decrease in methadne-specific verdse deaths in the same perid. 6 UNDERSTANDING OUR CURRENT STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS A Strength, Weaknesses, Opprtunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis was emplyed t audit the strengths, weaknesses, pprtunities, and threats in the Lancaster Cunty cmmunity. This is an analysis f factrs that influence the missin f Jining Frces in Lancaster Cunty.

21 LANCASTER COUNTY JOINING FORCES UNIVERSAL PREVENTION UNIVERSAL PREVENTION IS THE BROADEST APPROACH TO PREVENTION THAT TARGETS ENTIRE GROUPS OR THE WHOLE POPULATION. THESE STRATEGIES AIM TO CHANGE THE SOCIAL CONTEXT THAT INFLUENCES KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES, AND BEHAVIOR. SCHOOL-BASED PREVENTION & SUPPORT PROGRAMS Schls are uniquely psitined t prvide a fundatin fr substance use preventin effrts in the cmmunity. These institutins can actively prevent substance misuse and substance use disrders by targeting the reductin f risk factrs and the enhancement f prtective factrs. Many schls in SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAMMING Lancaster Cunty implement specific strategies t prevent substance use issues and prvide supprt fr students and their families. Safe, effective, evidence-based practices are crucial fr the success f these prgrams, as ther preventin prgrams can be harmful and encurage risky behavir. Examples f evidence-based preventin prgrams include LifeSkills, Lins Quest, and Prject Twards N Drug Abuse. LifeSkills is a substance use preventin prgram that addresses scial, psychlgical, cgnitive, and attitudinal factrs. This curriculum enables students t develp greater self-esteem, effectively cpe with anxiety, and increase their cmpetencies t reduce health risk behavirs. Lins Quest is an educatinal prgram designed t help students in grades K-12 develp life skills and psitive cmmitments t their families, schls, peers, and cmmunities. Prject Twards N Drug Abuse is a classrm-based drug abuse preventin curriculum implemented at the high schl level. Students, ages 14 t 19, are educated n the cnsequences and misperceptins assciated with drug use. AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS & RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES Fr yuth, after schl prgrams and recreatinal activities prvide pprtunities t frm psitive scial relatinships with peers and healthy habits. Addtinally, these prgrams and activities prvide adult supervisin and allw children and yuth t frm psitive mentring relatinships with adults. Lancaster Cunty has multiple prgrams acrss the cunty that are perated thrugh schls and ther lcal rganizatins. Research shws that yuth wh have pprtunities fr psitive scial engagement and have psitive peer and adult relatinships are less likely t misuse substances r develp substance use disrders. WORKPLACE PROGRAMS Wrkplaces in Lancaster Cunty are wrking t supprt emplyees with substance use disrders and prevent future substance use. Sme examples f available supprts include emplyee assistance prgrams (EAP) that prvide funding fr cunseling services, and sme may prvide additinal supprt PAGE 21 STRATEGIC PLAN 2018

Sme wrkplaces als actively apply drug-free wrkplace plicies. HEALTHCARE POLICIES & PRACTICES Healthcare prfessinals have been respnding t the piid crisis thrugh plicy and direct practice. The State f Pennsylvania implemented new laws in 2017 t imprve piid prescribing and dispensing practices. Additinally, the state began utilizing a Prescriptin Drug Mnitring Prgram (PDMP). This is a tl that prvides an infrmatin gateway fr pharmacists and dctrs wh prescribe piid medicatins. They are nw required t use the PDMP t determine whether a patient is receiving treatment with piid medicatins frm anther prvider. Medical prfessinals are als expected t refer a patient fr treatment fr substance use disrders when apprpriate. Health systems in Lancaster are taking steps t prvide pain management care fr chrnic pain in a way that reduces the risk f piid misuse and disrdered use. Prescriptin drug drp-ff lcatins acrss the cunty allw individuals t dispse f unused prescriptin medicine safely. There are 26 drp-ff lcatins in the cunty, including 21 drp-ff bxes lcated in plice departments and 6 pharmacies that accept unused prescriptins. The CDC and Pennsylvania Department f Human Services have utlined specific prescribing practices with the primary gal t imprve patient safety when prescribing piids. DRUG DROP-OFF LOCATIONS LAW ENFORCEMENT Lcal law enfrcement fficials wrk t prtect public safety and respnd in cases f emergency. Plice departments acrss Lancaster Cunty are first respnders t piid-related verdses and prvide direct interventins.

23 LANCASTER COUNTY JOINING FORCES SELECTIVE PREVENTION SELECTIVE PREVENTION METHODS TARGET INDIVIDUALS WITH HEIGHTENED BIOLOGICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, OR SOCIAL RISK FACTORS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS. STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS (SAP) The primary gal f the Student Assistance Prgram is t identify issues that pse barriers t student success. These barriers can range frm truancy, illness and academic failure as well as mental health and substance use cncerns. SAP teams are cmprised f prfessinally trained faculty including cunselrs, teachers, nurses, and administratrs wh wrk t prvide schl and cmmunity supprt that prmte psitive utcmes. Once referred by a persn in the schl r cmmunity, SAP teams engage parents in the planning f supprt fr their child. As necessary, students may be recmmended t prfessinal assessrs fr evaluatin f pssible mental health and substance use issues. Cmpass Mark prvides SAP team certificatin training and technical assistance thrughut Lancaster Cunty. Funding fr SAP trainings and assessments is prvided by the Lancaster Cunty Drug & Alchl Cmmissin. PA Cunseling Services is the Cunty-funded prvider f assessment services. Carn Treatment Centers prvides assessment services in three schl districts and perates independent f funding frm the Cunty. FAMILY-BASED SUPPORT & EDUCATION PROGRAMS There are a variety f prgrams that serve family members f individuals with substance use disrders. Sme examples include educatinal prgrams, supprt grups, 12-step prgrams, and sme treatment prgrams incrprate a family-centered apprach. There are targeted supprt prgrams fr the children f adults with substance use disrders that wrk t mitigate risk factrs and enhance their prtective factrs. One such prgram is Celebratin Place, a prgram fr the children f parents wh are actively invlved in a prgram called Celebrate Recvery. Children ages 5 t 13 learn, at an age apprpriate level, hw t break ut f cycles that lead t addictin and develp healthy ways t cpe with the unique addictin-related situatins that their parents face. COBYS Family Services ffers Celebrating Families! This is an evidence-based, cgnitive-behaviral supprt grup mdel fr families in which ne r bth parents have chrnic substance use issues. This prgram is designed t supprt all family members, including children ver the age f 3, t strengthen recvery, develp healthy family living skills, increase resiliency factrs, and decrease risk factrs. Anther example f a family-based supprt prgram is the Strengthening Families Prgram (SFP), fr parents and yuth aged 10 t 14. This is a widely used 7-sessin, family-fcused prgram that enhances parenting skills specifically nurturing, setting limits, and cmmunicating as well as adlescent substance refusal skills. SFP is an evidence-based prgram that shws reductins in tbacc, alchl, and drug use as well as prescriptin drug misuse. Cmpass Mark uses a Family Services Advcate prgram t supprt the children f incarcerated parents by helping them maintain healthy relatinships and build resilience and prtective factrs. Nurse-Family Partnership is a preventin prgram that uses trained nurses t prvide an intensive hme visitatin interventin fr at-risk, first-time mthers during pregnancy. This prgram prvides PAGE 23 STRATEGIC PLAN 2018

Nurse-Family Partnership is prvided in Lancaster Cunty by Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health and WellSpan Ephrata Cmmunity Hspital. MENTAL HEALTH SCREENINGS Early detectin f mental illness is ne way t mitigate adverse utcmes, and effective treatment fr mental illness als decreases the likelihd f substance use disrders. There are initiatives acrss the cunty t address unmet mental health needs thrugh screening and referrals fr treatment. One example is Teen Hpe, a depressin and suicide risk screening prgram in Lancaster Cunty middle and high schls. Teen Hpe is perated by the Samaritan Cunseling Center and began in This initiative implements depressin and suicide screenings in specific grades within schl districts helps t identify students with high risk f depressin and/r suicide. As illustrated n this map, Teen Hpe is present in 6 public schl districts, as well as Lancaster Mennnite Schl (LMS) in Lancaster Cunty. The Schl District f Lancaster cnducts a similar screening fr students. Primary care ffices acrss Lancaster Cunty are als currently implementing depressin screenings in rutine ffice visits using the Patient Health Questinnaire (PHQ-9). The PHQ-9 is a multipurpse instrument fr screening, diagnsing, mnitring, and measuring the severity f depressin. Primary care prviders can assist their patients with their mental health needs, which, in turn, psitively affects their physical health. INDICATED PREVENTION INDICATED PREVENTION INCLUDES EARLY INTERVENTION EFFORTS TO TARGET INDIVIDUALS WHO SHOW MINIMAL BUT DETECTABLE SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS OF SUBSTANCE MISUSE OR SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER. Indicated preventin strategies may include early interventin services and methds f harm reductin t meet the needs f individuals with emerging symptms and avert the prgressin f substance misuse t substance use disrder. EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAMS Lancaster Cunty ffers sme early interventin prgrams t prvide supprt and redirectin in the early stages f substance use issues. One example f this is Cmpass Mark s Student Skills fr Life, a grup educatinal interventin fr yuth experimenting with alchl r ther drugs and preventin fr any adlescent r cllege-age ppulatin. The prgram prvides experiential life skills training and may include parenting classes and referrals t drug & alchl assessments when apprpriate. HARM REDUCTION PROGRAMS In Lancaster, there are sme prgrams that perate t reduce the harmful cnsequences assciated with substance use issues. Sme methds f harm reductin include HIV testing and prviding infrmatin abut needle safety. In Lancaster Cunty, there are a number f healthcare prviders wh ffer free r reduced cst HIV testing. Jining Frces has begun t disseminate infrmatin abut the prper use and dispsal f needles and syringes. The Lancaster Cunty Prisn, White Deer Run, and The Retreat all prvide vivitrl injectins at the time f discharge fr individuals with piid use disrders wh may be at risk fr piid verdse. This PAGE 24 STRATEGIC PLAN 2018

25 LANCASTER COUNTY JOINING FORCES is a vluntary injectin prvided t individuals as they are discharged frm these facilities t utpatient treatment t mitigate the risk f relapse and verdse. NALOXONE Nalxne (als referred t by the brand name Narcan) is an piid antagnist medicatin that is used t reverse the effects f an piid verdse t prevent death. This is ne f the mst direct methds f decreasing verdse-related deaths. Access t nalxne has been expanded due t a cuntywide standing rder fr take-hme dses f nalxne, which is a prescriptin written fr and accessible by the general public. Nalxne can be btained at mst lcal pharmacies thrugh this standing rder r a prescriptin frm a family dctr. Cmmunity individuals wh are at risk fr verdse r in a psitin t assist an individual at risk, including friends and families, are recmmended t have access t this medicatin. Since 2014, law enfrcement fficers, emergency medical respnders, fire fighters, ther first respnders, and prfessinals at schls and rganizatins have been authrized t administer nalxne in the case f piid verdse. Acrss the cunty, peridic trainings are prvided fr prfessinals and cmmunity individuals t learn t administer nalxne effectively. Prject Lazarus and ther rganizatins perate these trainings in accrdance with state guidelines. Lancaster Cunty is participating in the PCCD Nalxne Prject. This prvides nalxne fr trained first respnders. The Lancaster Cunty District Attrney s Office is the crdinating entity fr the distributin f nalxne thrugh this grant at the lcal level. CASE IDENTIFICATION CASE IDENTIFICATION IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH INDIVIDUALS ARE IDENTIFIED AND DIAGNOSED WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS. THIS IS ESSENTIALLY THE POINT OF ENTRY INTO THE TREATMENT PROCESS. A typical prgressin f events is that an individual wh has been identified at-risk thrugh screening is referred t a prfessinal behaviral health prvider wh is able t diagnse substance use disrders and related issues. While this is a prcess embedded within the utilizatin f treatment, there are sme clear examples f prgrams that facilitate entry int treatment in Lancaster Cunty. INFORMATION & REFERRAL SERVICES In Lancaster Cunty, call centers prvide infrmatin and cnnectins t resurces fr individuals wh are seeking services r infrmatin. United Way prvides general infrmatin and referrals fr individuals with a variety f needs related t health and human services. Cmpass Mark ffers specialized infrmatin and referral services fr individuals with substance use cncerns t cnnect them t apprpriate supprt and/r treatment services. White Deer Run serves as a clearinghuse fr inpatient detxificatin and inpatient rehabilitatin services. Their call center cmpletes brief assessments via phne t determine the apprpriate level f care. Based n an individual's assessment and their eligibility fr funding r insurance cverage, White Deer Run searches fr an pening at an apprpriate treatment lcatin. Crisis Interventin is a cuntywide respnse t mental health crises. This call center primarily addresses mental health emergencies, such as suicidal thughts and self-harming behavir. While PAGE 25 STRATEGIC PLAN 2018

If they are unable t assist with certain issues related t substance use, they refer individuals t specific resurces. EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT WARM HANDOFF PROGRAM In partnership with The RASE Prject, all 4 emergency departments (EDs) in Lancaster Cunty have implemented warm handff prgrams t respnd t piid verdse cases. Every patient wh enters the ED after an piid verdse has the pprtunity t meet with a RASE recvery specialist, an individual wh is in lng-term recvery frm substance use disrder. A RASE specialist is n-call arund the clck t meet patients in the ED and prvide infrmatin, supprt, and mtivatin t seek treatment if the patient is ready. In cases in which a patient is interested in seeking treatment, RASE specialists prvide direct referrals and walk individuals thrugh the treatment prcess. D&A MOBILE ASSESSMENTS In Lancaster Cunty, state-licensed utpatient drug and alchl treatment prviders wh are funded by the Lancaster Cunty Drug and Alchl Cmmissin are able t cnduct evaluatins t determine the need fr services and apprpriate level f care. Brief screenings can be cmpleted ver the phne, and full evaluatins are typically dne in persn at utpatient clinics. Hwever, fr individuals wh cannt physically travel t an utpatient clinic (i.e. individuals in an inpatient mental health setting), utpatient prviders can cnduct mbile assessments by traveling t the individual.
