It’s time for spring cleaning. We’ve already seen plenty of folks started to tidy up yards, getting them back in shape and removing winter debris. Many of us take this time to tidy up inside the house too — changing bedding, wardrobes, curtains, and cleaning windows and closets. This year, we should all take a minute to add the medicine cabinet to our list of places to fresh- en up. Cleaning out the medicine cabinet is something many of us overlook, but will serve more than just a cosmetic purpose. With prescription drug abuse on the rise it is one way we can all keep ourselves and our loved ones just a little safer. Getting rid of old or unused prescription drugs not only makes us less of a target for would-be thieves, but it al- so ensures that no one has access to medication not prescribed to them. According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), the prescription drugs most commonly abused include opiod painkillers, depressants and stimulants. “A number of national studies and pub- lished reports indicate that the intentional abuse of prescription drugs, such as pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants and sedatives, to get high is a growing concern particularly among teens.” (ONDCP website) While these drugs are the most commonly abused, they’re not the only dangerous ones lurking in our cabinets. Any prescriptions not be- ing actively taken by the person they were issued to can pose a risk. Teens have been reported to engage in “cocktail parties” where every- one brings whatever pills they can find. The pills are put into a bowl at the party and then taken indiscriminately by the participants. The re- sults can be disastrous with the effect of the actual drug or drug inter- actions between medications posing possible life-threatening compli- cations. So get into those medicine cabinets and then bring your old or un- used prescriptions to one of the local agencies participating in this weekend’s National Drug Take Back event. Cadets from the White Mountains Regional High School JROTC program participated in a service learning project at Lakeway Elementary School on In Coos County, those with medications to dispose of can bring them April 12.
