Archive

The Consortium has been at work for more than a decade, and together with our partners we have created a range of reports, presentations, and handouts that were highly valuable to our staff and peers. With this in mind, we have archived some of the most significant material. Open the accordion file below to see what we have.

The Community Reference

The Community Reference is a reference and resource guide for communities and local efforts to use in support of new and established initiatives to fight prescription drug misuse and abuse. It was developed by the Colorado Consortium for Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention and the Colorado Department of Human Services, Office of Behavioral Health.

The Community Reference is meant to encompass the activities of many different organizations that work on various aspects of the opioid crisis. It includes resources and information about public awareness campaigns, the work of the Consortium, and materials such as brochures and guidelines.

The reference was last published in 2019, but it remains a place where you can find useful information and ideas.

Heroin

The Heroin Response Work Group was formed in 2016 to bring together law enforcement and public health.
