As part of the governor’s Healthy Pennsylvania initiative, a Prescription Drug Take-Back program has been established to assist communities in properly disposing of unused prescription medications, reports State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129). 
The Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, in partnership with the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency and the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association, will work with local communities to install hundreds of secure and permanent prescription drug drop-off boxes throughout Pennsylvania.
Prescription drug misuse, abuse and overdose are growing concerns across the nation. According to a 2011 survey in Pennsylvania, 14 percent of youth surveyed admitted to taking prescription drugs that were not prescribed to them, Cox said.
