In an effort to fight opioid addiction, state officials announced the opening of 65 prescription drug take-back boxes on Tuesday. They’re now available 24 hours a day at in the lobbies of Pennsylvania State Police barracks across the commonwealth.
The initiative is designed to allow the safe disposal of expired or unwanted prescription medication. Medications kept in home medicine cabinets and other locations are at risk of misuse and abuse.
“With the addition of these new prescription drug take-back boxes in the Pennsylvania State Police barracks, we now have almost 680 drug take-back boxes in local law enforcement and other locations, said DDAP Acting Secretary Jennifer Smith.
