Prescription Drug Take Back Day
The Ingham County Sheriff's Office is partnering with Delta Dental of Michigan for its annual prescription drug take back day on Wednesday from 3pm to 6pm at Delta Dental in Okemos.
This event coincides with National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on October 25. The drive-thru event allows individuals to drop off unused medications, including pain relievers, anti-depressants, sleep aids, and pet medications, with no questions asked.

Last year, the Ingham County Sheriff's department and Delta Dental collected over 70 pounds of unused prescription drugs.
According to the health department, over the past decade, prescription drug abuse has increased among youth, and about 80 percent of people that misuse prescription drugs get medication from family members and friends.
