HPD receives permanent prescription drop box
from the ONDCP ( Office of National Drug Control Policy ) and SaMHSa ( Substance abuse and Mental Health Services administration ). the release said the HPD is in support of this initiative as it is removing unwanted prescription drugs from the hands of juveniles and persons that should not be in possession of them . it is a way of assisting the community in taking responsibility for removing these dangerous drugs from homes if they are not being used accordingly , the release said .
“ Unused prescription drugs thrown in the trash can be retrieved and abused or illegally sold . Unused drugs that are flushed contaminate the water supply . Proper disposal of prescription drugs saves lives and protects the environment ,” the release from the HPD said . the release also said that using the drop box would help limit drug abuse .
“ Permanent drop boxes and awareness campaigns surrounding them are an important part of reducing the abuse of prescription medication . two in five teenagers believe prescription drugs are ‘ much safer ’ than illegal drugs . every day in the United States , 2,500 youths take a prescription pain reliever for the purpose of getting high for the first time . Cleaning out medicine cabinets will reduce the number of prescriptions available for abuse ,” the release said .
