The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services reports that an average of nine North Carolinians died each day from a drug overdose. Often, the drugs responsible for these deaths are prescription medications found in our homes. Do your part to prevent dangerous drug use and overdose death by securing the medications that you need and safely disposing of the rest.
