The Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA) is piloting a program to provide medication locking devices into the hands of those who need them. Through this program, HCA will supply medication locking bags and lockboxes to partner organizations who will distribute the locking devices to their communities. The goal is to encourage medication safe storage and to help people overcome barriers (financial or otherwise) to locking up.
This pilot program is part of HCA’s Starts with One campaign, a prevention campaign designed to inform and educate Washingtonians about prescription opioid misuse and to promote safe storage and safe disposal practices.
