Summary
This study tests a program called CROSSROADS for adults who recently survived an opioid or stimulant overdose. It combines standard paramedic care with free legal help for issues like housing or benefits. Researchers want to see if this reduces drug use and contact with the criminal justice system. About 400 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care or the extra legal support, and they will be followed for one year.
