Many Americans are not aware that medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion\, misuse and abuse. Stu dies show that the majority of misused prescription drugs are obtained fro m family and friends\, including from home medicine cabinets. In addition\ , many Americans do not know how to properly dispose of unused medication\ , often flushing it down the toilet or throwing it away - both potential s afety and health hazards.\n\nDrug take back days and permanent drop boxes also support the goals of the Eco-City Alexandria initiative to promote a place where people can live healthier and economically productive lives\, while reducing their impact on the environment.\n\nThe service is free and anonymous\; no questions asked.\n\nTo learn more about ways to prevent su bstance use and misuse\, visit alexandriava.gov/SAPCA\n\nTo learn more abo ut safe medicine disposal\, visit alexandriava.gov/Opioids\n\n\nLocation: Woodbine Rehabilitation\nAudience: Anyone may attend\nTags: APDCalendar\, Criminal Justice\, DCHS\, Eco-City\, Fire Department\, Health\, Mt.
