SCOPE-OK
Through a multi-year initiative supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), OFMQ has developed a consortium to identify and address barriers to the prevention, treatment, and recovery of opioid and methamphetamine use disorders.
Our consortium, the Southcentral Consortium for Overdose Prevention and Education in Oklahoma (SCOPE-OK), will focus on seven counties- Bryan, Carter, Garvin, Johnston, Love, Marshall, and Murray. We meet quarterly from 10am - 12pm at the Ardmore Public Library when in person the second month of every quarter.
The following FDA resources can help your patients and your community understand proper drug disposal!

SCOPE-OK seeks to understand community attitudes and beliefs about substance use disorders (SUD). Stigma regarding SUD, or negative beliefs and/or attitudes about people who experience addiction, is common at both the individual and system levels and can make recovery more difficult.
