In a continued effort to save lives and strengthen community support for individuals impacted by substance use disorder, Emily’s Hope announced July 17th, 2026 the expansion of the Post- Overdose Response Team into Beadle County. This expansion will ensure that every person who survives an overdose in the Huron area has rapid, compassionate and evidence based support from the moment they return home. Diana Leal, Program manager for PORT at Emily’s Hope said its great to add another location.
