About the Summit

The Detroit area and surrounding communities are striving to cultivate solutions to address opioid misuse and substance use disorder plaguing friends, families, youth, and co-workers. Join the conversation and collaborate to learn new innovative strategies and programs tackling substance use treatment and prevention. The current pandemic has provided new challenges and an increase in isolation, substance use and relapse, and mental health concerns. Solutions need to be creative, thoughtful, and innovative, and many are rising to the need. Awareness and collaboration is key as we learn how we can move forward as a community together.
