It’s time to clean out your medicine cabinet and safely dispose of any expired or unwanted medication! Did you know that flushing these is not recommended? Incineration is the safest means by which to destroy. Sixty-four percent of Tennesseans know someone who has become addicted to prescription pain medication. Despite this statistic, many individuals do not see it as something that could occur in their household.
