<p><strong>WCSO Announces another Medication Take Back Event in Washtenaw County</strong></p>

<p><strong>On Saturday, October 8, from 10AM to 2PM, the Ann Arbor Police Department and the Division of Pain Research (UM, Department of Anesthesiology) are hosting a medication take back event in the Pioneer High School Parking Lot. </strong></p>

<p>Deaths related to opioid overdoses nearly doubled for Washtenaw County residents 21 and under from 2014 to 2015. Behind marijuana, prescription drugs are the second most abused substance among teens today. Many teens mistakenly view prescriptions as a medically safe way to get high. Prescription pain relievers, such as OxyContin and Vicodin, are most commonly abused and teens can get these easily from their homes. Help us keep our teens and children safe.</p>
