An overdose prevention center is a safe place where people can go to use drugs they have obtained elsewhere. Staff monitor for overdoses and provide pathways to care. An OPC is opening in Rhode Island soon. Join members of the People, Place, & Health Collective at the Brown University School of Public Health and Project Weber/RENEW for a community conversation.
