Commander of the Hamilton County Heroin Task Force and Program Director for the QRT Tom Fallon says thanks to team members and other agencies, overdose deaths will likely be down 10% in 2020. He says there s still work to be done since in 2012 and earlier, accidental overdoses numbered in the 200s in Hamilton County and are now in the 400s.
QRT Expansion
Every neighborhood in Hamilton County has a QRT and Colerain Township has its own. In the next few months, Fallon will establish a new response. Part of the program is going to be hot spot outreach, in areas reported with a high number of overdoses.
