This isn’t just about cleaning out a medicine cabinet…
This is about protecting our families, our kids, and our communities.
As someone who has lived through loss and now works every day in drug and alcohol testing, I can tell you this—unused medications sitting in homes are one of the most overlooked risks we have.
That’s why National Prescription Drug Take Back Day matters.
🗓 Saturday, April 25 | 10AM–2PM

Let’s be real for a second…
We are either:
✔ Cleaning up our own lives
✔ Helping someone else clean up theirs
✔ Or ignoring a problem that’s growing
Let’s not allow addiction to become another silent pandemic.
This is one small step that can literally save a life.
