Plymouth County Resources for Families

Plymouth County Outreach (PCO)

Plymouth County Outreach (PCO) was created as an initiative of the Plymouth County Drug Abuse Task Force. It is a multi-faceted collaboration of the Plymouth County District Attorney, the Plymouth County Sheriff and the 28 municipal police departments within Plymouth County.

PCO works together with recovery coaches and community organizations / coalitions to make treatment, resources and harm reduction tools more accessible to those living with substance use disorder and their loved ones. PCO’s goal is to provide compassionate, judgement free support while reducing overdose fatalities.

PCO helps individuals who may be misusing a substance and are at-risk of an overdose or would like assistance navigating treatment options. This includes individuals in recovery who may want to explore a different pathway or access additional resources. An at-risk individual can be identified through self-disclosure or referred by a family member or loved one. PCO Teams offer support and resources after an overdose occurs through a visit with family members.
