 llecting unwanted medications at Fire Station 210 as part of this nationa
 l Drug Take Back day. The Alexandria Police Department and the Alexandria
  Sheriff's Office\, with cooperation from the Substance Abuse Prevention 
 Coalition of Alexandria\, are staffing multiple drop off sites for Drug T
 ake Back.\n\nDrop off potentially dangerous expired\, unused and unwanted
  prescription drugs and other medications for safe disposal and destructi

 able risk to public health and safety\, particularly in the case of opioi
 ds. \n\nThis initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health
  issue. Many Americans are not aware that medicines that languish in home
  cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion\, misuse and abuse. Studies
  show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from fami

 many Americans do not know how to properly dispose of their unused medici

 ential safety and health hazards. \n\nThis program also supports the goal
