 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=23491\n\nHave unwanted and expi
 red prescription medications? Dispose of them safely at the "Drug Take Bac
 k" to prevent pill abuse and theft. \n\nOfficers from the Alexandria Polic
 e Department will be collecting unwanted medications at their headquarters
  as part of this local Drug Take Back Day. The Alexandria Police Departmen
 t and the Alexandria Sheriff's Office\, with cooperation from the Substanc
 e Abuse Prevention Coalition of Alexandria\, are staffing multiple drop of
 f sites for Drug Take Back.\n\nDrop off potentially dangerous expired\, un
 used and unwanted prescription drugs and other medications for safe dispos
 al and destruction. These drugs can be a source of supply for illegal use 
 and an unacceptable risk to public health and safety\, particularly in the
  case of opioids. \n\nThis initiative addresses a vital public safety and 
 public health issue. Many Americans are not aware that medicines that lang
 uish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion\, misuse and abu
 se. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained
  from family and friends\, including from the home medicine cabinet. In ad
 dition\, many Americans do not know how to properly dispose of their unuse
 d medicine\, often flushing them down the toilet or throwing them away - b
 oth potential safety and health hazards. \n\nThis program also supports th
 e goals of the Eco-City Alexandria initiative to promote a place where peo
 ple can live healthier and economically productive lives while reducing th
 eir impact on the environment. \n\nThe service is free and anonymous\; no 
 questions asked.\n\nLocation: Police Headquarters\nContact Person: PIO Cry
