Dispose of them safely at a convenient location with the "Take-Back" initiative to prevent pill abuse and theft.\n\nStop by the Del Ray Pharmacy\, 2204 Mount Vernon Avenue\, where the Alexandria Police Department and the Alexandria Sheriff's Office\, with cooperation f rom the Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition of Alexandria\, are collectin g potentially dangerous expired\, unused and unwanted prescription drugs a nd other medications for destruction. These drugs can be a source of suppl y for illegal use and an unacceptable risk to public health and safety. \n \nThis initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Many Americans are not aware that medicines that languish in home cabinet s are highly susceptible to diversion\, misuse and abuse. Studies show tha t a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and fri ends\, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition\, many Americ ans do not know how to properly dispose of their unused medicine\, often f lushing them down the toilet or throwing them away - both potential safety and health hazards.\n\nThis one-day effort\, in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration\, is intended to bring national focus to the i ssue of increasing pharmaceutical controlled substance abuse. The service is free and anonymous\; no questions asked. \n\n\nLocation: No Location S pecified\nContact Phone: 703.746.6600\nAudience: Anyone may attend\nTags: Criminal Justice\, Del Ray\, Health\, Public Safety\n\nImport this event i nto your calendar: http://apps.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/iCal.aspx?id=1&si =4842 DTEND:20120929T180000Z DTSTAMP:20130619T220000Z DTSTART:20120929T140000Z SEQUENCE:4 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Drug Take Back Day in Del Ray TRANSP:TRANSPARENT UID:b3fa7db6-622f-4701-914b-f3f92808f7e1 X-COA-DTSTAMP:20120925T153320Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
