The Connecticut Opioid REsponse Initiative (CORE) is a strategic plan from Yale experts in response to the state's opioid and overdose epidemics. It recommends:
- expanding access to effective, medication-based treatment for substance use disorders;
- improving transitions within the treatment domain;
- increasing the availability of naloxone — the antidote to reverse an opioid overdose — and;
- decreasing the over-prescribing of opioid at high doses or in combination with sedatives.
