National Prescription Drug Take Back Day event will be at the Gardena Police Department this Saturday from 10:00 to 2:00pm

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration National Prescription Drug Take Back Day event will be at the Gardena Police Department this Saturday, October 28, 2017 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.
Needles/syringes will NOT be accepted.

The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day Initiative addresses a crucial public safety and public health issue. According to the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 6.4 million Americans abused controlled prescription drugs. The study shows that a majority of abused prescription drugs were obtained from family and friends, often from the home medicine cabinet. The DEA’s Take Back Day events provide an opportunity for Americans to prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths.
