This dataset provides the prescription count for controlled substances, non-controlled substances, opioids, benzodiazepine, stimulant, gabapentin, & naloxone dispensations in the state. It only includes dispensations to CT residents reported to the CT Prescription Monitoring & Reporting System (CPMRS). Controlled substances are those that have been categorized as schedule II - V. Opioid Agonists are generally used to treat moderate to severe pain typically associated with injury, surgery, or various health conditions. Opioid partial agonists bind to opioid receptor sites and works slowly in the body to help prevent withdrawals and reduce cravings for opioid drugs. Opiate partial agonists are used to treat opioid use disorder. Prescription opioid partial agonists include buprenorphine, butorphanol, and pentazocine. Benzodiazepines slow down the central nervous system, and often used to relieve anxiety and muscle spasms, as well as reduce seizures. Stimulants increase alertness and energy, enhancing focus. Stimulants are commonly used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD). Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant or antiepileptic drug, used to treat seizures and relieve pain. Naloxone is used to quickly reverse an opioid overdose. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist, and works by attaching to opioid receptors, to reverse and block the effects of other opioids.

Washington’s PMP was created (RCW 70.225 (2007)) to improve patient care and to stop prescription drug misuse by collecting dispensing records for Schedule II, III, IV and V drugs, and by making the information available to medical providers and pharmacists as a patient care tool. Program rules, WAC 246-470, took effect August 27, 2011. The program started data collection from all dispensers October 7, 2011. Under RCW 70.225.040(5)(a), the department is authorized to publish public data after removing information that could be used directly or indirectly to identify individual patients, requestors, dispensers, prescribers, and persons who received prescriptions from dispensers. The data available here are de-identified, and exclude patient, prescriber, and dispenser related information in alignment with program rules WAC 246-470-080. No requestor information is available here. Prescriptions excluded from PMP include those dispensed outside of WA State, those prescribed for less than or equal to 24 hours, those administered or given to a patient in the hospital, and those dispensed from a Department of Corrections pharmacy (unless an offender is released with a prescription), an Opioid Treatment Program, and some federally operated pharmacies (Indian Health Services and Veterans Affairs report voluntarily since 2015).
