The Rutgers Interdisciplinary Opioid Trainers (RIOT) program is meant to provide a FREE 1 hour training to community members to educate them about the opioid epidemic in NJ, how to manage an overdose, and Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT).
Who We Are 
Our supervisor is Dr. Jill Williams from the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Division of Addiction Psychiatry.
We are committed to increasing education and reducing stigma about Opioid Use Disorder and Medication Assisted Treatment.

We are fortunate to have Sazha Ramos as member of the RIOT Program. Ramos graduated from Northern Arizona University with a BA in Applied Human Behavior and is continuing her education at Rutgers School of Social Work. Currently, Sazha Ramos consults for SAFE Project, a national non-profit addressing the US addiction epidemic, as their Recovery Housing Manager. She is leading her team to build the nation's first recovery housing locator. The SAFE Community Playbook is a comprehensive resource of how to organize, evaluate and create change in your community to impact the opioid epidemic. The playbook utilizes a pulse survey to find resources throughout your community and then provides easy to digest information on how to create or connect with new resources.
