About
The Community Overdose Action Team

The work of the Community Overdose Action Team seeks to reduce the number of people dying from drug overdoses and drug abuse.

The Community Overdose Action Team was established in the fall of 2016 to address the opioid/heroin epidemic in Montgomery County.

Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug Addiction & Mental Health Services, Public Health – Dayton & Montgomery County, and Montgomery County Administration are the lead agencies in the effort to combat the epidemic.

2018 Achievement Award from the National Association of Counties
2018 Organization Award for Champions of Public Health Awards presented by The Ohio State University College of Public Health
2019 NACCHO Model Practice Award

"Stories of Hope"

Gary Gonnella

Gary has a message: RECOVERY MATTERS, RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE, and RECOVERY WORKS. As a person in long-term recovery himself, Gary is helping to bridge the gap between communities, meeting people where they're at & expanding access to recovery supports.

William Roberts

William Roberts was homeless, incarcerated, and addicted. Today, he's celebrating over 27 years in long-term recovery, holds two master's degrees, and is showing us all the power of community, love, and connection.

Videos were made by Indigo Life as apart of their Voices Project. A collection of stories from people in recovery, family members and community members rising up to tell their story. These stories are being told to break down cultural barriers of shame, silence and stigma so that we can start having honest discussions about addiction and recovery in this country.
