Presenter says Lincoln County qualifies for Level A under COSSUP, emphasizing intervention and recovery
Summary
A presenter at the July 6 meeting described the Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Program (COSSUP) grant as focused on intervention and preventing relapses; she stated Lincoln County qualifies for Level A services and emphasized continuity from intervention to recovery.
Judy Smith told the commissioners that the Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Program (COSSUP) grant emphasizes intervention and linking people to treatment to prevent relapses. "It's all about intervention and helping provide treatment to recovery that will prevent relapses," Smith said, and she told the board that Lincoln County qualifies for Level A based on population and needs.
Smith's remarks were presented as an informational update; no action on COSSUP funds or program implementation was recorded on the July 6 agenda. Commissioners heard the overview in the context of other county efforts to coordinate behavioral health services and transportation supports, including the Ride Care agreement approved earlier in the meeting.
Board members did not record a follow-up motion specific to COSSUP during the meeting; the presentation provides context for county-level planning and for grant-funded service coordination going forward.
