Another Huge Turnout At Prescription Drug Take-Back Event

Monday, May 23rd, 2011

The DEA reports that prescription drug abuse in the U.S. is increasing at an alarming rate, as is the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. A majority of abused prescription medications are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and other agencies nationwide collect these drugs and dispose of them in a environmentally safe manner during Prescription Drug Take-Back Events.

The Drug Enforcement Administration along with the Bay Area Council for Youth and Families and UTMB collected 305 pounds of drugs at the Prescription Drug Take-Back Event on April 28, ranking the Victory Lakes site as number 1 out of 29 throughout the greater Houston area. Thank you to all of those who made this event successful.
