Prescription drug take back day

Prescription drugs are now the second–most abused category of drugs in the United States. With evidence that the majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from medicine cabinets of friends and family the focus has shifted to disposing of left over and unneeded prescriptions safely.

The Red Hook Police Department and Northern Dutchess Communities that Care in conjunction with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), are hosting the second National Drug Take Back Day on October 29, 2011 from 10:00AM – 2:00PM at the Red Hook Police Department, Red Hook Village Hall, 7467 South Broadway, Red Hook, NY.
