State of Colorado Substance Abuse Treatment Resources
State Of Colorado Substance Use Prevention And Early Intervention
State Of Colorado Substance Use Prevention And Early Intervention. As part of creating a more effective behavioral health system, the Community Prevention and Early Intervention Program formerly within the Colorado Department of Human Services’ Office of Behavioral Health recently moved to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) in order to elevate the work being done within this program in primary prevention. Moving the Community Prevention and Early Intervention Program to CDPHE’s Prevention Services Division represents significant opportunity for leveraging expertise in primary prevention and substance misuse prevention, leveraging resources and braiding funding in the future so that prevention can have a greater impact in communities, and realizing efficiencies in contracting and the provision of technical assistance and training to stakeholders across the state.

Colorado General Assembly Substance Abuse Response Task Force
Colorado General Assembly Substance Abuse Response Task Force. Given the complexity of responding effectively to substance abuse issues, the Colorado General Assembly acknowledged the need for involving a diverse partnership of state government, local governments, and the private sectors, including legislators, child advocates, public health officials, drug treatment providers, child welfare workers, law enforcement officers, judges, and prosecutors. To this end, the Colorado General Assembly established the Colorado Substance Abuse Trend and Response Task Force in 2013 as a continuation of the work of the State Methamphetamine Task Force. The membership of the Colorado Substance Abuse Trend and Response Task Force consists of a chair, three vice-chairs and twenty-eight members. The Colorado Attorney General serves as the chair of the Task Force.
