opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their
homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and un-
wanted prescription drugs. Bring medications for disposal
to Duxbury Fire Department at 668 Tremont St. The service
is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
Last September, Americans turned in 242,000 pounds—
121 tons—of prescription drugs at nearly 4,100 sites oper-
ated by the DEA and more than 3,000 state and local law
enforcement partners.
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 pre-
scription drugs are obtained from family and friends, includ-
ing from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans 45 DEPOT STREET, DUXBURY
