Forward To A Friend
Colleyville Police are making it easier to dispose of drugs by
offering a drive-through service this year.
This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public
health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are
highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of
prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as
are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due
to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused
prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends,
including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition,
Americans are now advised that their usual methods for
disposing of unused medicines-flushing them down the
toilet or throwing them in the trash-both pose potential
safety and health hazards.
For more information about the disposal of prescription
drugs or about the Drug Take Back Day event, go to the
DEA Diversion website.
