It is important to dispose of unused prescription drugs in ways that are as safe as possible for the environment. In addition, it is also critical to secure and safely dispose of prescription drugs since adolescents who are experimenting with or using substances, curious children, and adults who may have a substance use disorder have access to them in homes. For a directory of other Substance Use Prevention programs near you visit https://www.prevention.org/provider-directory.
