Every day, 4,047 children and young adults begin experimenting with prescription drugs. Only 4.7% of children who abuse Rx drugs say they get the medications from a stranger, a drug dealer or the internet. Prevent your children from abusing your own medication by securing your meds in places your child cannot access. The rest they get at home or from a friend or relative.
When you are ready to dispose of your unused prescriptions or over the counter medicines the safest place is your local disposal site. The Sallisaw NOW Coalition purchased a safe to be placed in the Sallisaw Police Department. You may drop off your medicines 24 hours a day 7 days a week and be assured that they will be disposed of correctly.
