The Take Meds Seriously web site helps Colorado’s Injured Workers with safe use, storage and disposal of prescription drugs. The website is part of former Governor Hickenlooper’s Plan to Reduce Prescription Drug Abuse, which, in keeping with its commitment to making Colorado the healthiest state in the nation, has set the goal of preventing 92,000 Coloradans from engaging in the non-medical use of prescription pain medication by 2016.
Pinnacol recommends employers use the website as a resource for its employees who may encounter opioid therapy as part of treatment for a work-related injury or illness.
