Overdose Prevention Welcome > Departments > Public Health Services > Programs and Services > Overdose Prevention Overdose Prevention Program A.R.S. § 36-2602 of House Bill 2136 requires the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy (ASBP) to establish a controlled substances prescription monitoring program (CSPMP). The purpose of this legislation is to improve the State’s ability to identify controlled substance abusers or misusers and refer them for treatment, and to identify and stop diversion of prescription controlled substance drugs in an efficient and cost effective manner that will not impede the appropriate medical utilization of licit controlled substances. (Controlled Substances Prescription Monitoring Program) The NCPHSD works under the Prescription Drug Overdose Prevention for States grant funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), overseen by the Arizona Department of Human Services (ADHS). The mission of the Navajo County Public Health Services District (NCPHSD) is to ensure that all citizens of Navajo County receive public health services and, in cooperation with local, state and federal agencies, health care institutions and health care providers, ensure those citizens are provided access to a basic set of health services including medical, dental and behavioral health. Mission Statement Surveillance & Prevention The Overdose Data to Action grant has two main components: Surveillance and Prevention. We will be using multiple strategies including integration of state and local prevention and response efforts, establishing linkages to care, and ongoing outreach to increase education and awareness within Navajo County. Activities of OD2A include developing an Overdose Fatality Review Committee, developing local data dashboards, ongoing support of the Arizona OAR Line, and encouraging the distribution of Naloxone. The Problem: Arizona currently ranks 12th highest in the nation for individuals 12+ years misusing and abusing prescription (Rx) drugs AND has the 12th highest drug overdose mortality rate in the United States at greater than 20 drug overdose deaths/100,000 population. (County Health Rankings and Roadmap) 5.6% of Navajo County youth report current Rx drug misuse – the county ranks 8th highest in the state. Rx drug misuse is considered “socially acceptable.” Rx drugs are also easy to get (most youth and adults report getting Rx drugs from friends and their or someone else’s home). And, Rx drugs are incorrectly perceived as safer than street drugs. What Can the Citizens of Navajo County Do? Practice and promote proper prescription and over-the-counter drug storage in the home. Talk to youth, families, and other community members about the dangers of prescription and over-the-counter drug misuse and abuse. Talk to your healthcare provider about non-prescription pain relief options. If you or a family member uses a prescription opioid talk to your healthcare provider or pharmacist about the option of having Naloxone prescribed to use in case of an accidental overdose.

Naloxone is a medication designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose. It is an opioid antagonist—meaning that it binds to opioid receptors and can reverse and block the effects of other opioids. It can very quickly restore normal respiration to a person whose breathing has slowed or stopped as a result of overdosing with heroin or prescription opioid pain medications.
