Sacramento County officials are again asking for residents to turn in their old and unused prescription drugs. "Many Americans are not aware that medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse," the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department said in a press release. "Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are increasing at alarming rates, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs." This weekend, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department will offer four dropoff locations for National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day.
