Strengthen the Coalition to Reduce Opioid Abuse

Return to Opioid Top-Level Strategy Map or the Zoom Map (Improve Treatment of Addicted People) or the Zoom Map (Expand Access to MAT) or the Zoom Map (Minimize Desire to Misuse Opioids) or the Zoom Map (Expand Harm Reduction Practices Associated with Opioid Misuse)

Opioid Coalition Building

The opioid coalition process is designed to help build strong communities in order to reduce the trafficking, selling, and use of heroin and diverted prescription opioid painkillers. This can be accomplished if a diverse group of key community stakeholders come together to offer their gifts, knowledge, and resources. [1]

Coalitions Can...

  • Conserve resources
  • Achieve more widespread reach within a community than a single organization ever could attain
  • Accomplish objectives beyond the scope of any single organization
  • Have greater credibility than individual organizations
  • Provide a forum for sharing information
  • Provide a range of advice and perspectives to lead the agency
  • Foster personal satisfaction and help members to understand their jobs in a broader perspective
  • Foster cooperation between grassroots organizations, community members, and diverse sectors of large organizations.[2]

 

Steps to Building a Coalition

  1. Analyze objectives and determine whether a coalition should be formed
  2. Recruit the right people. Think outside of the box to recruit a wide variety of stakeholders from different sectors
  3. Devise a set of preliminary objectives and activities
  4. Convene the coalition
  5. Anticipate necessary resources.
  6. Define success to your coalition. What are you measuring? What are your targets? How and when should they be reached?
  7. Maintain coalition vitality. This can be done through meetings, events, and strong communication
  8. Make improvements through evaluation. Actions done by coalitions should be fluid. Once targets are reached, the actions being taken may change. Consider how actions need to change if targets are not being reached. Don't collect data for the sake of collecting data. Evaluate what this information means and use it to understand and maybe even adapt your actions, measures, and targets to fit the current situation.[3]
  9. Find the right program for your community. Blueprints Programs for Healthy Youth Development have a database of over 1,400 programs already established. See what's working for other communities at their website.

    3. Add an upper dose and a suggested duration of use on opioid labels.
    4. Designate naloxone an over-the-counter drug.
    5. Ensure that abuse-deterrent opioid formulations are NOT marketed as less addictive.
  3. DEA must mandate prescriber education, free of pharmaceutical industry bias, for all DEA registrants who intend to prescribe more than a 3-day supply of opioids.
  4. HHS, DEA, and Congress should immediately reduce barriers to buprenorphine treatment.
