If you are putting your house on the market, you may want to clean the prescription drugs out of your medicine cabinets. Addicts are now posing as buyers at open houses to raid medicine cabinets of prescription drugs.
To address this issue, the Sheriff's Department partnered with the Safe Homes Coalition, Mental Health Systems, Prescription Drug Task Force and the D.A.'s Office and launched a video campaign to stop prescription drug abuse and misuse. The goal is to inform the public and realtors about prescription drug thefts at open houses.
Remember:
•You can drop off your unused, unwanted and expired prescription drugs at any Sheriff's Station or Substation Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more information on the locations, visit: http://goo.gl/5PAQy.
•Mental health and substance abuse help is available to anyone who is struggling or worried about a friend or loved one. Counselors are always available through the County’s Crisis Line at 888-724-7240.
