DRUG TAKE BACK DAY
Prescription Drug Take Back Day Provides Opportunity to Make Homes Safer
One of the most common ways young people experiment with prescription drugs for the first time is by finding the drugs in the family medicine cabinet and consuming them. Parents might not think there’s any harm in keeping certain pharmaceuticals in the home, but in light of the American opioid epidemic – which was partly started by the abuse of prescription painkillers – parents must recognize the risk of keeping unused medication in the home. Parents should dispose of unused medications during the upcoming Prescription Drug Take Back Day event.
We Just Celebrated National Prescription Drug Take Back Day—What’s Next?
April 27th was “Prescription Drug Take Back Day,” a day which is celebrated in both April and October. The event was initially created and sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Administration. And why do we need two days per year where we all get together and dispose of unused prescription drugs?
Narconon Arrowhead Promotes National Take-Back Day
On National Take Back Day people are encouraged to go through their homes and find any unused, old drugs and drop them off at “take back” locations throughout the community. Officials then destroy these old drugs so that they can’t negatively affect anyone in the household.
