Washington initiative aimed at fighting opioid epidemic Program focuses on locking bags, take-back kiosks By Arielle Dreher, The Spokesman-Review Published: July 10, 2021, 9:19pm Share: After a year of increasing drug-overdose deaths, Washington state pharmacies are working with patients to lock up their prescriptions and bring back leftover medication they don’t need in a effort to combat opioid misuse. The Health Care Authority contracted with 21 pharmacies in northwest Washington in a pilot program to give out locking medication bags to patients this year. “We know that about 75 percent of all opioid misuse starts if somebody takes a prescription that wasn’t prescribed to them,” said Jessica Blose, who leads the state opioid response at the Health Care Authority.
