NOW: Children’s Community Health Plan Hosts Drug Take-Back Drive

As the painkiller epidemic grows, experts say it's more important than ever to make sure unused medications don't fall into the wrong hands.

"The wrong hands are those very little young hands, just out of curiosity, and seeing them laying around and unfortunately they ingest them and then we have a very large problem on our hands."

Today the 'Children's Community Health Plan' along with its partners held a safe drug disposal drive thru. They wanted to give families a place to take medications and dangerous items such as needles.
