Dr. Rob Valuck, CCPDAP, provided a handout [ due to the size of the handout, it is on file in the Legislative Council Staff office] and discussed the CCPDAP's efforts to increase awareness of the medication take-back program, decrease the number of opioids prescribed in emergency rooms, and expand access to Naloxone in the community. He told the committee that he was able to raise money to fund the CCPDAP after the state contributed $1M to the CCPDAP. Dr. Valuck responded to questions.
