Substance Abuse Prevention​

Regional Prevention Coordinators (RPC) provide regional prevention services by engaging community members, local organizations, public agencies, youth and the media to change community conditions that contribute to alcohol, tobacco and other drug (ATOD) related problems. Currently, our Community Based Prevention Services (CBPS) grants focus on the prevention of alcohol, opioid and stimulant use.

The mission of the Coalition Against Prescription and Substance Abuse of Tulsa (CAPSAT) is bring diverse organizations/stakeholder and individuals together to change policies, systems, and environments for the prevention of substance abuse. CAPSAT objectives include the prevention of non-medical prescription drug, opiate/opioid, stimulant abuse and misuse through education, research, training, intervention, treatment, and enforcement. CAPSAT provides education and training on secure storage and proper disposal of prescription medications, encourage taking prescription medications as prescribed, promote the use of Narcan and facilitate a bi-annual Rx Take Back event every April and October.

After studying other state and national recommendations, the Opioid Prescribing Guidelines for Oklahoma Workgroup created guidelines for Oklahoma prescribers in 2017. The guidelines were developed to help improve communication between clinicians and patients about the risks and benefits of opioid therapy for pain management, improve the safety and effectiveness of pain treatment, and reduce the risks associated with long-term opioid therapy, including opioid use disorder, overdose, and death, while preserving patient access to needed medical treatment.
