When someone experiences an overdose, what they often need most is understanding, support, and hope from someone who truly gets it. That’s why Serenity House Communities created PORT – the Peer Overdose Response Team. Unlike traditional crisis-based models, PORT is developed, managed, and led entirely by individuals with lived experience of substance use and overdose. This unique, peer-driven approach allows us to connect on a deeper level—offering trust, empathy, and empowerment to those navigating one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

• Post-Overdose Outreach
  We follow up within 24–72 hours after an overdose to offer support, share resources, and simply be there.
• Recovery Self-Care Bags
  We provide Narcan, fentanyl test strips, hygiene supplies, and comfort items to support the journey ahead.
• Transportation Assistance
  Through our Rides for Recovery program, we help eliminate barriers to treatment and recovery services.
• Naloxone Education & Distribution
  We offer training and access to lifesaving Narcan to individuals and families in need.
• Trauma-Informed & Culturally Responsive Care
  Our team is trained to provide care that honors each person’s identity, history, and needs.
• Peer Support & Recovery Navigation
  From housing to treatment to support groups—our peers walk alongside individuals as they take the next steps toward healing.
• Post-Overdose Support Line: Compassionate connection to support. After-hours calls returned next business day.
• Recovery Self-Care Bags: Supplying Narcan, fentanyl test strips, and hygiene products to survivors.
