How we Help

Our team helps people ready for that next step:

  • Find treatment for opioid use 
  • Connect with mental health care
  • Apply for housing programs
  • Find health and community services
  • Get support during treatment and recovery
  • Work through problems that make it hard to get help

Our team does not give up after one visit. We keep showing up, listening, and offering support. When a person is ready, we help them connect directly with the right program or service.

Who we serve

This program serves unsheltered people in Washoe County who are experiencing or at risk of opioid use disorder.

People may be living in:

  • Outdoor spaces where people are living
  • Vehicles (cars, trailers, RVs)
  • Empty buildings
  • Other places not made for people to live

Many people we serve also face health problems, mental health needs, job loss, low income, or legal issues. These challenges can make it harder to find treatment, housing, and support.

our Goals

The Opioid Street Outreach program works to:

  • Find and support people experiencing or at risk of opioid use disorder
  • Help more people start and complete treatment
  • Connect people with housing services
  • Make it easier to get care
  • Build strong community partnerships

Our goal is to help each person move toward recovery, safe housing, and a healthier life.
