300+ Engaged with MCC

Rising Overdose Deaths in Greene County
In 2021, the upstate NY crude rate of opioid overdose was 23.5 and the rate in Greene County was 46.3, almost double the average of upstate NY counties. 42 Greene County residents died of overdose between 2019 and 2021. 50% of those deaths occurred in 2021, alone.
MCC Offers Narcan Training & Accessibility
Narcan plays a vital role in mitigating opioid overdose deaths. MCC has begun an initiative of training individuals, groups and businesses on the mountaintop to properly administer this life saving medication as well as establishing publicly accessible Narcan Kits in strategic locations. Naloxone (Narcan) swiftly counters opioid overdose, binding to brain receptors to halt opioid effects. It restores normal respiration when breathing slows or ceases from opioid misuse.
Help Save Lives
Donations will assist MCC in offering more frequent Narcan trainings, provide increased community awareness through educational campaigns, and to increase public Narcan Kits to maximize accessibility.
Certified Recovery Peer Advocates (CRPA)
CRPAs bring recovery expertise, training, and personal experiences to enhance treatment engagement and dedication. They foster connections to supportive resources, aid community education, and align with discharge plans. To meet growing demand and uphold our support commitment, MCC aims to hire another qualified CRPA by January 2025.
