April 26, 2019 – The event featured the 34-foot-long Opioid Memorial Wall, which displayed 4,200 pill bottles, one for every 10 Americans who died by heroin and prescription opioid overdoses in 2016. The wall is part of a campaign developed to encourage addicts to seek treatment. Addiction is a prevalent problem in Colorado, which has seen a steady up tick of overdose deaths. In 2017, more than 1,000 residents died of an overdose, including 560 from opioid-based substances, such as heroin. In 2017 and 2018, heroin waned as a drug of choice, said Dr. Dan Caplin, founder of Colorado Addiction Treatment Services in Durango.
