About CoOPDM
Who We Are
The Coalition on Prescription Drug Misuse (CoOPDM) was formed in May 2008 to address the issue of prescription drug misuse in Alberta, Canada. We act as a catalyst and coordinator, bringing together organizations, stakeholders and communities to foster information sharing, education, enlightenment and cooperation related to prescription drug misuse.
The CoOPDM is comprised of organizations and individuals that have voluntarily and collaboratively come together with a common vision to promote healthier communities by reducing the misuse of prescription drugs. The following organizations serve as partners in the CoOPDM:
- Alberta College of Pharmacists
- Alberta Health Services – Addiction and Mental Health; Health Promotion, Disease/Injury Prevention
- Alberta Government – Safe Communities and Strategic Policy
- College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta
- Edmonton Police Service
- Health Canada
- Health Canada – First Nations and Inuit Health
- RCMP
