Premier Community Health Services is pleased to announce the receipt of a $336,000 grant for the third year of the Pasco County Opioid Task Force initiative. This vital funding will help cover services at a new health center in Dade City dedicated to expanding access to care. The expenses dedicated to addressing the opioid crisis in Pasco County, Florida.
Purpose of the Pasco County Opioid Grant: The Year 3 grant is designed to expand access to integrated behavioral health and opioid/substance use disorder (OUD/SUD) services at a new Dade City Behavioral Health Clinic. Renovations supported by year 2 funds from the Pasco County Opioid Task Force initiative are underway, and the new health center expects to be available for the community as early as June this year.
This investment aims to strengthen the countywide response to opioid addiction by:
- Increasing the availability of timely treatment and recovery support.
- Enhancing the coordination of care for individuals with complex behavioral health and SUD needs.
- Providing a safe and welcoming entry point for those seeking help.
Through this initial investment, Premier will continue its collaboration with the Pasco County Opioid Task Force, working to reduce overdose risks, improve treatment engagement, and promote long-term recovery for residents throughout the county.
In addition to these critical efforts, the funding will also enable the implementation of innovative programs and initiatives designed to address the unique challenges posed by the opioid crisis. By fostering a comprehensive and coordinated approach, Premier aims to create a sustainable impact that will benefit the community for years to come.
We are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by opioid addiction and are grateful for the continued support of the Pasco County Opioid Task Force.
