When unused or expired medications, especially opioids or controlled substances, aren't properly disposed of, they can end up in the hands of people who could harm themselves by misusing them or leach into your local community's environment through your trash. This National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, make sure to follow best practices for getting rid of medications you no longer need or that can no longer be safely taken: ◾ Consult the DEA website or your local pharmacy to find take-back events or authorized collection sites ◾ If needed, refer to the FDA's recommended disposal steps for safely mixing medications in with household trash ◾ See if your local pharmacy offers mail-back programs or disposal kiosks for unused medications https://hubs.la/Q02rxFH30 #Healthcare #PrescriptionDrugTake-BackDay

April is Alcohol Awareness Month. Did you know that alcohol is a leading preventable cause of death in the United States with more than 178,000 alcohol-related deaths each year? When left unchecked, alcohol use can have serious impacts on health, relationships, and community, but the stigma surrounding alcohol and addiction often makes it an uphill battle for individuals to be proactive and seek out help. Asking for help or seeking screening is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you or a loved one might be struggling with alcohol use, consider taking a confidential alcohol screening and reach out to your local pharmacy or health professionals for support. https://hubs.la/Q02rxGlR0 #AlcoholAwarenessMonth
