What should I do with unused opioid medicine?

Your leftover opioids can be taken by people you’d never expect to take them: friends, relatives, and even your kids and their friends. Check with your local health department to find the locations of secure prescription drug drop boxes in your community and/or the dates of local drug take-back events. This way there can be no accidental exposures or mistakes in the home.
