L.I.M.A. Community Resource Sharing Meeting: Connecting Services for a Stronger Community

The Nevada Opioid Center of Excellence (NOCE) recently participated in the L.I.M.A. Community Resource Sharing Meeting, a collaborative event aimed at connecting service providers, law enforcement, and community members to share resources and strengthen support networks for individuals facing substance use disorders, mental health challenges, and homelessness. This meeting provided an opportunity for organizations to introduce their services and establish partnerships to better assist those in need. NOCE was honored to take part in this effort, furthering its mission of education, advocacy, and expanding access to treatment and support services for those affected by opioid use in Nevada.

About the L.I.M.A. Diversion Program

The LIMA Diversion Program (Law Enforcement Intervention for Mental Health and Addiction) is a nine to twelve month prebooking diversion program developed to provide a voluntary pathway to recovery to individuals with substance abuse issues, mental health issues, and homelessness issues who may be committing low-level crimes related to their substance use.

By diverting eligible individuals to services, LVMPD is committed to improving public safety and public order and reducing criminal behavior of people who participate in the program.
