Directions for Prescription Pill Drop

The Salem Police Department has established a drop box for unused/expired medication as a way for persons to dipose of these medications properly.  The pill drop box is located in the lobby of the Salem Police Department and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration's National Survey, more than seven million Americans currently abuse prescrition drugs.  The Partnership for a Drug Free America estimates each day, approximately 2,500 teens use prescription drugs to get high for the first time.  Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including the home medicine cabinet.

The Salem Police Department wishes to thank the Kiwanis club for providing the safe as we address a vital public safety and public health issue.
