Medicines that languish in home medicine cabinets are highly susceptible to misuse, abuse, and theft. Rates of prescription drug misuse are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. We must do all that we can to stem overdose fatalities and reduce access to these substances. According to DrugFree.com, 90% of prescription drug addictions begin in the teenage years; as many as 1 in 4 teens report taking a prescription drug that was not prescribed to them, with most obtaining them from their parents', friends', or family member’s medicine cabinet. Clearing out unused medications is essential in preventing unauthorized access and overdose deaths.
