Chaumbaâs project is called the Development of South Georgia Rural Communities Opioid Response Program Consortium.
Opioid usage has been on the rise. Chaumba said the rise can be attributed to several possible factors, including a high availability of prescription drugs that can be misused.
The grant will fund planning meetings, surveys and interviews with individuals affected by substance abuse, residents and service providers from Berrien, Coffee, Colquitt, Tift and Ware counties to gather views on available services for addressing opioid misuse and methamphetamine use.
