Safe Storage

Because of the potential for misuse of opioids, it is important that patients store their medications securely – that means someplace that can be locked and that is not accessible to children or guests. Why? Because statistics show that 7% of people who misuse or abuse prescription pain killers steal them.

Colorado has a great resource, www.takemedsseriously.org, that provides information and helpful videos about how to store your medications out of the reach of children, family members or guests.
