The Vinton County Post Overdose Response Team or P.O.R.T. is a group of trained individuals who respond to known overdoses within Vinton County. P.O.R.T. works alongside community partners like the Vinton County Sheriff’s Department and EMS to identify suspected and confirmed overdoses. Once a list is comprised, P.O.R.T. responds to these cases by visiting the individual who survived an overdose. During these visits P.O.R.T. provides resources to this individual and their loved ones including, linkage to rehabilitation treatment and harm prevention services through providing Naloxone.
