Prevent Poisonings
In Texas, poisonings are second only to motor vehicle accidents as a cause of death from unintentional injury. Unused medications in the home can be the source for these poisonings. And poisonings are not limited to children. Just under half of calls to poison centers are about teens and adults.
Medication Cleanout™ disposes of medications in an environmentally responsible manner.
Prevent Abuse
Abuse of prescription medications is one of the fastest growing drug problems in the nation. This is particularly a problem amongst teens. Prescription drug abuse is now second only to marijuana abuse. Parents, grandparents, friends, or acquaintances are frequently the unknowing source.

Prevent Misuse
The sharing of medicine with others is an unsafe & potentially deadly practice. Self-treatment with an inadequate supply of antibiotics can result in antibiotic resistance and a delay in appropriate medical attention. The use of medications of others for illness or pain can be harmful as well.
