Path & Point Collective delivers mobile, evidence-based medication follow-up and support to people most at risk of overdose after crisis, emergency response, and justice-system transitions.
People are often stabilized in a crisis, then left to navigate the hardest transition alone. These gaps can become repeating cycles.
The system may reverse overdose and initiate care, but follow-up can break down before treatment is established.
A person may receive medication while incarcerated, then lose continuity at release when overdose risk rises.
Path & Point Collective connects people at high risk of overdose to lifesaving medication follow-up, peer support, care navigation, and practical resources after emergency response, hospital care, or justice-system transition.
We envision communities where every person leaving crisis, incarceration, or emergency care has a supported pathway to treatment, stability, dignity, and long-term health.
The model is intentionally focused: medication continuity, rapid follow-up, and warm connection to care.
We provide mobile medication follow-up and support that removes barriers, builds trust, and creates a continuum of care after overdose, emergency response, hospital treatment, or incarceration.
The highest-risk window often occurs after the crisis appears resolved. Path & Point exists because survival should lead to support, not another disconnected handoff.
A phased model keeps the organization focused while building toward regional scale.
Clear outcomes make the model fundable, accountable, and useful to EMS, hospitals, counties, and community partners.
Increase enrollment after overdose, hospital treatment, or release from incarceration.
Improve thirty-day and ninety-day retention in ongoing medication treatment.
Reduce repeat overdose events among enrolled participants.
Reduce repeat emergency responses among high-risk participants.
Reduce repeat emergency department visits related to overdose and withdrawal.
Expand access to medication follow-up and recovery support in underserved communities.
The approach is grounded in evidence-based medication treatment and practical care transition support.
Research supports buprenorphine as an effective medication for opioid use disorder, and emergency department-initiated buprenorphine has been shown to improve treatment engagement.
The model does not duplicate treatment providers. It strengthens the handoff between EMS, hospitals, detention settings, community programs, and ongoing care.
