Did you know that medicines in the home are a leading cause of accidental poisoning? Just as disturbing, are the alarmingly high rates of prescription drug abuse among teens.

A National study by The Partnership at Drugfree.org and the MetLife Foundation found teens who misuse or abuse prescription medicines get them from a family member or friend. More often than not, these drugs are found in our medicine cabinets.

Please do your part in keeping our youths stay alcohol and drug free.
