This site was developed by the University of Colorado, Anschutz Campus, Department of Family Medicine in partnership with the Colorado Ambulatory Partnership for Health Innovation and Research Excellence (CAMPHIRE) program.

Colorado Fentanyl Education is funded by the state of Colorado and administered by the Behavioral Health Administration (BHA). It was create at the direction of bill 22-1326, Fentanyl Accountability and Prevention.

Fentanyl use is a growing health concern in Colorado, with an increase of five times the number of fentanyl deaths in just five years. To respond to this crisis, the Colorado legislature passed the Fentanyl Accountability and Prevention law with dual goals of deterring dealers of the drug and educating fentanyl users caught up in the legal system.

The Colorado Fentanyl Education course is part of the legislature’s education plan. This site educates offenders and the general public about:

  • The prevalence and hazards of fentanyl,
  • Ways to lower their chances of overdosing and death if they use drugs,
    particularly fentanyl and other opioids,
  • The changes in legal consequences for fentanyl- and similar opioid-related offenses,
  • The new treatment options,
  • Post treatment sober living support.
