 expired prescription medications? Dispose of them safely at the "Drug Take
  Back" to prevent pill abuse and theft. \n\nDeputies from the Alexandria S
 heriff's Office will be collecting unwanted medications outside the Neighb
 orhood Pharmacy at 2204 Mount Vernon Avenue as part of a national Drug Tak
 e 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 Take Back.\n\n
 Drop off potentially dangerous expired\, unused and unwanted prescription 
 drugs and other medications for safe disposal and destruction. These drugs
  can be a source of supply for illegal use and an unacceptable risk to pub
 lic health and safety\, particularly in the case of opioids. \n\nThis init
 iative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Many Ameri
 cans are not aware that medicines that languish in home cabinets are highl
 y susceptible to diversion\, misuse and abuse. Studies show that a majorit
 y of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends\, incl
 uding from the home medicine cabinet. In addition\, many Americans do not 
 know how to properly dispose of their unused medicine\, often flushing the
 m down the toilet or throwing them away - both potential safety and health
  hazards. \n\nThis program also supports the goals of the Eco-City Alexand
 ria initiative to promote a place where people can live healthier and econ
 omically productive lives while reducing their impact on the environment. 
 \n\nThe service is free and anonymous\; no questions asked.\n\nLocation:
