Quick Response Team

ADDICTION AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Coventry Township Fire Department is currently working with the Summit County Sheriff’s Office and CHC Addiction Services to provide our township with a Quick Response Team (QRT).

What is the purpose of the QRT?

A QRT provides support and resources to those in our community suffering from addiction and substance abuse. The QRT helps with prevention, education, encouragement, assessments, counseling, and care coordination. The QRT looks to quickly reach out to provide support and guidance to those that need it.

Whom does the QRT serve?

The QRT serves individuals who suffer from substance abuse and addiction. This could range from individuals who have needed Narcan, or friends/family members suffering from alcoholism or other forms of substance abuse. The QRT is in place to provide support and information to the patients we serve and their families and loved ones.

How can I get help for a loved one from the QRT?

Contact Coventry Fire Department at 330.644.3228 and ask to speak to fire-medic J.D. Detsch about the QRT. If J.D. is on shift, he will talk to you immediately. If he is not on shift, ask the staff member to transfer you to ext. 670 to leave a voicemail and J.D. will contact you on his next shift day. You may also email J.D. Detsch directly at j.detsch@coventrytownship.com
