Ingham County Sheriff's Office is partnering with Delta Dental of Michigan to host a Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Wednesday from 3pm to 6pm at Delta Dental in Okemos.
This event coincides with National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on October 25 and aims to collect unused prescription drugs, including pain relievers, anti-depressants, sleep aids, and pet medications.
According to the health department, over the past decade, prescription drug abuse has increased among youth, and about 80 percent of people that misuse prescription drugs get medication from family members and friends.
