Heroin is increasingly becoming a problem in communities throughout Colorado. Recent data shows increased rates of heroin seizures and arrests, heroin overdoses, administration of naloxone, and treatment for heroin use. This growing trend is a public safety issue, which not only affects families, friends and individual users, but the general public as well.

The purpose of this report is to briefly summarize both Colorado and national programs which aim to affect the current heroin and opioid epidemic, as well as provide current points of contact (POC) for each respective program.
