National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day On Saturday, April 24th.
Denver has seen an 83% increase in overdose deaths during the first half of 2020 alone!
Those are the worse numbers to date and it’s raising a flag for concern! The problem is raising such concerns, that Denver’s Harm Reduction Action Center has been handing out free fentanyl testing strips, hoping to prevent overdoses from those using various opiates. Some pharmacies are also handing giving the narco shots to people as well!
On Saturday, here are some locations where you can safely drop off your medications!
