“Another Tool for the Tool Box? I'll Take It!”: Feasibility and Acceptability of Mobile Recovery Outreach Teams (MROT) for Opioid Overdose Patients in the Emergency Room

This is an academic paper that explored the support and attitudes of emergency department (ED) personnel in Nevada towards using a mobile outreach team following the presentation of an opioid overdose to the ED. Findings suggest strong support and enthusiasm for this type of intervention. Giving ED personnel an approach to manage patients after a nonfatal overdose, through the use of reaching out to a mobile outreach team, is promising and will likely be utilized.
