Prescription Drug Disposal | City of Grove
The National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators (NADDI) launched a program to significantly reduce easy access to outdated or no longer needed prescriptions. These drugs unfortunately are the target of theft by people who have access to the medicine cabinets of family and friends. America’s 12- to 17-year-olds have made prescription drugs their number one substance of abuse, and much of the supply is coming from the medicine cabinets of their parents, grandparents and friends. More and more adults recognize the need to remove these substances from the home.
