How States Have Worked with the Alliance
COLORADO
Colorado's summit resulted in three task forces working to draft and propose legislation or make policy and programmatic changes on prescription monitoring, drug and alcohol treatment and related issues and drug-free workplaces. NAMSDL sponsored two members of the state’s workplace task force to attend the NAMSDL's national drug-free workplace training. NAMSDL also provided copies of the CO Summit’s treatment recommendations to each member attending the Criminal Justice Treatment Assembly in December 2000. The treatment work group is now a permanent substance abuse study group which is promoting bills on parity, criminal justice treatment, Medicaid, and formalizing the treatment system in statute.
