Strategic Prevention Framework for Prescription Drugs (SPF Rx)

Strategic Prevention Framework for Prescription Drugs (SPF Rx) is a community-based prevention initiative focused on reducing prescription opioid misuse and increasing medication safety in Bernalillo County.

Our work is preventive, evidence-based, and community-wide. While HEC does not provide direct services to individuals, we do work upstream by partnering with pharmacies, healthcare providers, parents, caregivers, and media partners to reduce risk and increase protective factors across the community.

OCT2025 Take Back Day

Evidence-based prevention for all.

HEC uses community data, evidence-based practices, ongoing evaluation, quality improvement, local voices, and cultural relevance to help connect people, families, and providers with tools that reduce risk and increase protective factors in order to support healthier communities. We serve community members of all ages (12-64), parents and caregivers, healthcare providers and pharmacists, schools, coalitions, and community partners.
