Jason Good of Fort Collins has been sober for 15 years after battling drug use in his early twenties. He started using cocaine while pursuing his undergraduate degree in Miami, and later moved on to opioids after knee surgery.
After his"doctor shopping" was uncovered by medical professionals, Good says he had to find new means to obtain prescription drugs — and he did. Now, he serves in a leadership role at a drug treatment facility in Fort Collins and shares his story in hopes of shining a light on the dangers of unused prescription drugs.
CU Anschutz Medical Campus and the CU Skaggs School of Pharmacy will be hosting their take-back event at the campus's Fitzsimmons building from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
