Recent studies have indicated that one in five teenagers has abused prescription medication that they get from a parent or grandparent's medicine cabinet. To try and curb this trend in South Florida, the Drug Free Collier is holding "Operation Medicine Cabinet" on Saturday, November 17th.

"Everyone is invited to bring unused or expired prescription and over-the-counter medications to several locations for proper disposal during Operation Medicine Cabinet, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 17th."

There will be several locations at which people can drop off medication.

Prescription drug abuse is a dangerous and serious matter. Visit DrugRehabTreatment for important information.
