Preventing misuse starts with one safe choice. The Starts With One campaign helps raise awareness about the risks of prescription drug misuse and the simple steps we can all take to protect our loved ones and ourselves. For senior citizens, that starts with safely storing and properly disposing of medications that are no longer needed.
Older adults are often prescribed multiple medications, which can make homes a target for accidental misuse or theft. By securely storing prescriptions and participating in drug take-back events, seniors can play a vital role in keeping their families and communities safe.
It only takes one action—one conversation, one locked cabinet, one trip to a disposal site—to make a difference.
