The ROOT Project

The Rural Overdose & Outreach Team (ROOT) Project is a collaborative effort between Goochland Powhatan Community Services and Emergency Services Solutions. We envision reducing and eventually eradicating the number of substance use disorder-related emergencies and overdoses, and ensuring recovery support is available to all residents of Powhatan County who are impacted by the disease of addiction. By meeting individuals where they are, ROOT hopes to plant seeds of overdose and relapse prevention, which will then take “root” and grow into a healthy lifestyle of recovery.
