Where are youth getting their prescription drugs? While 24% get them from friends, 15% get them from the medicine cabinet in their own home. And that’s where their friends are getting them, too. Clean out your medicine cabinet and dispose of them properly at this event.

Turn in expired, unused or unwanted prescription drugs and over the counter (OTC) medicines for proper destruction.

Overdoses and deaths from prescription drug abuse top US teen deaths from all other illicit drugs combined. The average first age of teens abusing prescription drugs is 12 years old. And, one in 10 8th graders in Navajo County has abused prescription drugs, according to the 2008 Arizona Youth Survey for Navajo County.
