Local pharmacies dispense over 8 million opioid pills each year in Rowan County. Our district and state are in the midst of an overdose epidemic and prescription drug misuse is the leading cause of addiction. We want to allow pharmacies the opportunity to take responsibility and become a leader within the community by offering point-of-purchase return for unused prescriptions.
YSUP has negotiated a program that will allow any local pharmacy in Rowan County to add a secure dropbox in their store for less than $70. per month, which includes collection, DEA tracking and eco-friendly incineration, with no upfront costs to the pharmacy.
The county-wide Safe@Home campaign outreach engages all 21 pharmacies in Rowan County. It is critically important for the customers to know how to reduce improper use and the your pharmacy takes it seriously. If you own a pharmacy, contact YSUP Rowan for more information.
