The opioid epidemic is a public health crisis, averaging eight deaths a day in Michigan.
The Michigan Opioid Partnership, managed by the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, is a public-private collaborative that includes the State of Michigan and key philanthropic organizations all dedicated to enhancing Michigan’s response to the overdose crisis and substance use disorder. The MOP focuses on fostering coordination among funders and stakeholders and aims to strengthen systems of care, promote equitable access to treatment, and support evidence-based solutions.
Opioid use disorder is an illness, not a moral failing. The MOP partners to address stigma and shift culture, so individuals receive access to the treatment, resources, and kindness that they need and deserve.
“We need to cultivate empathy and sympathy for people dealing with opioid use disorder. Taking the time to understand the patients’ needs and making sure health care staff are empowered to help them are critical to success.” Dr. Andrew King Detroit Medical Center and assistant professor, Wayne State University School of Medicine
