In years past Rialto had a location for the drug take back day that was actually in Rialto.
Now that the City Council along with Congress Woman Norma Torres and Congressman Pete Aguilar have destroyed the Rialto Community Coalition there is nobody looking out for drug and alcohol abuse in the city.
The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day addresses a crucial public safety and public health issue. According to the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 6.4 million Americans abused controlled prescription drugs. The study shows that a majority of abused prescription drugs were obtained from family and friends, often from the home medicine cabinet.
Teens will regularly raid family members medicine cabinets and either take the pills themselves or go to parties where kids will SKITTLE. When someone SKITTLES on prescription drugs what they are doing is taking a series of different pills from a bowl or basket without knowing what they are or how they will react together.
The DEA’s Take Back Day events provide an opportunity for Americans to prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths.
