Through a collaboration with the Rutherford Opioid Board, patients and families gain access to opioid misuse screening, education on safe storage and disposal of medications, and life‑saving tools like naloxone, alongside essential dental care. It also allows us to provide restorative dental treatment for individuals in recovery, helping repair the oral health damage that can accompany substance use and supporting confidence, comfort, and long‑term stability.
Together with the Rutherford Opioid Board, we are addressing the opioid crisis through prevention, harm reduction, and recovery‑focused care, strengthening individual health while helping repair the broader impact of opioid use on our community. Click here to learn more!
The Rutherford Opioid Board partners with many great organizations that offer support to those who need it.
