 red prescription medications? Dispose of them safely at the "Drug Take Bac
 k" to prevent pill abuse and theft. \n\nDeputies from the Alexandria Sheri
 ff's Office will be collecting unwanted medications outside the Neighborho
 od Pharmacy at 2204 Mount Vernon Avenue as part of a local Drug Take Back 
 Day. The Alexandria Police Department and the Alexandria Sheriff's Office\
 , with cooperation from the Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition of Alexan
 dria\, are staffing multiple drop off sites for Drug Take Back.\n\nDrop of
 f potentially dangerous expired\, unused and unwanted prescription drugs a
 nd other medications for safe disposal and destruction. These drugs can be
  a source of supply for illegal use and an unacceptable risk to public hea
 lth and safety\, particularly in the case of opioids. \n\nThis initiative 
 addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Many Americans ar
 e not aware that medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susce
 ptible to diversion\, misuse and abuse. Studies show that a majority of ab
 used prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends\, including f
 rom the home medicine cabinet. In addition\, many Americans do not know ho
 w to properly dispose of their unused medicine\, often flushing them down 
 the toilet or throwing them away - both potential safety and health hazard
 s. \n\nThis program also supports the goals of the Eco-City Alexandria ini
 tiative to promote a place where people can live healthier and economicall
 y productive lives while reducing their impact on the environment. \n\nThe
  service is free and anonymous\; no questions asked.\n\nLocation:  No Loca
