Opioid and Stimulants Prevention

Prescription drug overdose deaths have quadrupled among 12-25 year olds in Kansas over the past 12 years. DCCCA Prevention Services is addressing the prescription drug and opioid crisis in Kansas through the Strategic Prevention Framework for Prescription Drugs (SPF-Rx) initiative.

Projects within the SPF-Rx Initiative include:

Statewide Planning and Implementation

DCCCA coordinates the Kansas Prescription Drug and Opioid Advisory Committee. The purpose of the Kansas Prescription Drug and Opioid Advisory Committee is to develop a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary strategic plan to address the opioid crisis in Kansas and implement coordinated efforts across the state. To find more information on the work of the advisory committee please visit www.preventoverdoseks.org.

Annual Kansas Opioid and Stimulant Conference 

The Opioid Conference provides an opportunity for professionals from multiple specialties to learn about the epidemic and provide insight for developing a path forward for Kansas. Conference topics include strategies regarding how to address the epidemic through the different lenses of Prescribing, Prevention, Treatment, Recovery, Law Enforcement, and Clinical Intervention. Click here to view more information about the Annual Kansas Opioid Conference.

Medication Disposal Projects

The goal of this project is to increase the safe disposal of prescription opioids using medication disposal products, in target populations, to decrease social availability for individuals between the ages of 12-25. DCCCA provides free medication disposal resources to communities and agencies across the state. CLICK HERE to request free medication disposal resources. To find medication disposal sites in your community CLICK HERE.

Safe Medication Storage

The SPF-Rx program provides lockbags to Kansas residents. These bags promote safe use, storage and transportation of medication to prevent misuse or accidental poisoning. While supplies last, lockbags can be requested HERE.
