Dispose of Your Prescription Drugs

I recently spoke with a 21 year old recovering heroin addict who told me how he and his friends started taking drugs in the 7th grade by going in medicine cabinets and taking vicodin, oxycodone and other drugs. Don't assume it can't happen to your children and grandchildren. Have you checked your medicine cabinet lately and disposed of the prescriptions you don't use?
Please make it a priority to go through your medicines and dispose of them. Most of our police stations have drop off boxes for the drugs. Please click here to find the location nearest you.
