JCOIN Launches the Cascade of Care Toolkit
The Cascade of Care (COC) Toolkit is a new online tool that applies the cascade of care framework to substance use disorder prevention (SUD) and treatment. The free COC Toolkit allows communities, agencies, and other stakeholders to use local and national data to estimate the prevalence of SUD in their counties. This flexible tool provides customizable estimates of SUD prevalence and treatment engagement to facilitate prevention and treatment planning. The tool allows users to look at the overall snapshot of SUD in their communities and to hone in by type of drug, demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, and special conditions, such as co-occurring mental health needs or criminal legal system involvement.
