POINT
This arm will be offered both POINT services (in addition to standard emergency care) and enrollment in study data collection. If they choose to enroll in POINT, they may choose whether or not to enroll in data collection, as it is not required. Should they enroll in data collection, they will be consented and enrolled in the research study as a participant in the POINT study arm. POINT: A recovery coach meets patients in the ED after they have been revived from an overdose to offer a range of services including an assessment of high-risk behaviors, Hep C/HIV testing, harm reduction counseling, and treatment referrals with follow-up to either a medication assisted treatment (MAT) provider, detoxification services, or an inpatient treatment setting. Patients are offered a take-home naloxone kit and assistance with Medicaid enrollment. Close collaboration with the local community mental health provider ensures POINT patients have their first assessment for MAT within 1-2 business days of ED discharge. Also, recovery coaches offer to accompany patients to intake appointments or criminal justice and child welfare meetings as part of the standard care they deliver.
Standard Care
This arm will only be offered enrollment in study data collection, as they will receive standard emergency care. If they choose to enroll, they will be consented in the research study as the Standard Care arm.

POINT
n=157 Participants
This arm will be offered both POINT services (in addition to standard emergency care) and enrollment in study data collection. If they choose to enroll in POINT, they may choose whether or not to enroll in data collection, as it is not required. Should they enroll in data collection, they will be consented and enrolled in the research study as a participant in the POINT study arm. POINT: A recovery coach meets patients in the ED after they have been revived from an overdose to offer a range of services including an assessment of high-risk behaviors, Hep C/HIV testing, harm reduction counseling, and treatment referrals with follow-up to either a medication assisted treatment (MAT) provider, detoxification services, or an inpatient treatment setting. Patients are offered a take-home naloxone kit and assistance with Medicaid enrollment. Close collaboration with the local community mental health provider ensures POINT patients have their first assessment for MAT within 1-2 business days of ED discharge. Also, recovery coaches offer to accompany patients to intake appointments or criminal justice and child welfare meetings as part of the standard care they deliver.
