Looking for a locking device?

 

There are multiple options when it comes to locking up you medication, including locking bags, locking pill bottles, locking boxes, or even a locking cabinet in your home. Below are some resources to help you get started.

Connect with your local Community Prevention and Wellness Initiative (CPWI) Substance Use Prevention Coalition

There are about 100 CPWIs within our state! Not all may have available locking devices, but they can help direct you to available resources.

1. Locate your local community coalition here.

2. Find their website or other information to help you contact the local coalition coordinator who may be able to assist you in finding a local resource for a locking device.
