On October 6, Michael Meit and Megan Hefferman will focus on an exciting new tool that will help recovery home operators and recovery allies work more efficiently and effectively than ever before. With a simple click on a map, the nation’s first interactive data visualization tool gives users a detailed snapshot of the recovery ecosystem resources available in every U.S. county.
 
Two key contributors to the new tool, Michael Meit and Megan Hefferman, will be on hand to review the development of the new Recovery Ecosystem Index Map and demonstrate how useful and easy it is to use.

For example, the tool integrates overdose mortality rates with data on poverty, education and other demographic factors, allowing users to compare county-level information to the rest of their state and the nation. It also allows community organizations, policymakers, researchers, substance use treatment providers, other decision-makers and the general public to explore county-level maps and create data dashboards to understand those factors in their communities and where additional resources are most needed to provide support to those in recovery. Insights derived from this tool can be used to target resources and interventions in order to enhance recovery ecosystems.
