SHED THE MEDS: SAFELY DISPOSE OF YOUR UNUSED, UNNECESSARY PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS
The heroin epidemic has reached our streets. It’s in our schools and may very well be in some of our homes. We cannot afford to ignore this public health crisis. Nearly half of the young people who inject heroin report abusing prescription painkillers first. Help us stop the epidemic by getting rid of unused, no longer needed prescription drugs that might be in your home.
