I, of course, keep all medications in safe storage and away from my children, but teaching them how to properly dispose of medications is just as important. The kids and I recently visited a LifeInCheck Consumer Drug Take-Back™ kiosk here in Massachusetts, where we disposed of our unused and outdated prescription medications. The program is such a practical and convenient tool for my family.
I don't think many families know the correct way to dispose of prescription medications, or why it is so important. People may flush them down the toilet, pour them down the drain, or throw them into the trash. But unfortunately disposing of medications in these ways can result in damage to our environment, drug diversion, or the medications and drugs being abused by others.
In an effort to reduce the risk of these issues and bring awareness to the massive opioid crisis that is hurting families across our country, LifeInCheck has created an amazing program for the families of Massachusetts. LifeInCheck Consumer Drug Take-Back™ program provides consumers with a safe option to discard their unused or outdated prescription medications in secure kiosks across the United States. The kiosks provided by LifeInCheck make disposing of unused or expired prescription medications safe and easy. Locating a LifeInCheck Consumer Drug Take-Back™ kiosk is fast and convenient.
Keeping my children safe is one of our top priorities. Not only do we keep medications away from our children, but with LifeInCheck Consumer Drug Take-Back™, we have been able to dispose of unwanted and expired medications. I would be devastated if these unused medications got into the wrong hands, and risking something like this happening because we didn't dispose of unused medications is not a risk I am willing to take.
The closest kiosk to our home was only about 5 minutes away. Once we arrived at the store we quickly found the kiosk near the pharmacy, we checked to make sure our medications were acceptable (only Benzodiazepines and opioids in Massachusetts ), and then we dropped our medications into the receptacle. Doing this with them opened up some great conversations about drug safety.
We go through all of our medications twice a year and dispose of any unused or expired medications using the LifeInCheck Consumer Drug Take-Back™ program and kiosks. I'm excited to be able to include my family in this process. I think it will teach them some valuable lessons, as well as, how they should handle and be responsible for medications as they get older.
Make sure to visit the LifeInCheck website, enter your zip code, and find a LifeInCheck kiosk near you so you can dispose of any expired or unwanted medications safely for you and your family's peace of mind!
