Sevierville pou patisipe nan Evènman Nasyonal pou Reprann Medikaman DEA

As a full-time partner with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), the City of Sevierville Police Department (SPD) will participate in a National DEA Drug Take Back Event on Saturday, September 26, 2015 from 10:00AM-2:00PM at the Sevierville Police Department, 300 Gary Wade Blvd. SPD Lieutenant Ken Garner, Office of Emergency Management Director, will be on duty to assist citizens who may have questions.

Pandan dènye evènman pran dwòg, ofisye SPD yo te kolekte, an mwayèn, plis pase karant-senk liv dwòg. Apre koleksyon, tout dwòg yo detwi pa ensinerateur ak nenpòt plastik resevwa yo resikle.

Anplis depoze medikaman nan evènman sa a, sitwayen yo ka depoze medikaman nan resipyan SPD Drug Take Back nenpòt ki lè oswa jou nan semèn nan. Sèvis la gratis ak anonim. Yo aksepte medikaman sa yo:

• Tout grenn ki lach ak poud. 

• Liquid drugs are only accepted in sealed packaging. 

• Sealed drugs and aids (i.e. diabetic supplies, meters, etc.)

The department is unable at this time to accept syringes or other types of drug paraphernalia. Anyone with questions may call 865.868.1753 or email Adrès kouryèll sa a te protégés de spambots. Ou bezwen JavaScript pèmèt wè li..

Anpil moun pa okouran medikaman ki lapenn nan kabinèt lakay yo trè sansib a detounen, move itilizasyon, ak abi. Dapre DEA, pousantaj abi medikaman sou preskripsyon nan peyi Etazini an ap ogmante nan yon pousantaj alarmant, menm jan ak kantite anpwazònman aksidan ak surdozaj akòz dwòg sa yo. Etid yo montre ke yon majorite nan dwòg preskripsyon abize yo jwenn nan fanmi ak zanmi, ki gen ladan nan kabinè medikaman lakay ou. Anplis de sa, anpil Ameriken pa konnen ki jan yo byen jete medikaman yo pa itilize yo, souvan jete yo nan twalèt la oswa jete yo - tou de potansyèl sekirite ak sante danje. Sistèm dlo minisipal yo pa kapab byen filtre anpil medikaman, ki pafwa mennen nan prezans nan medikaman nan dlo tiyo. Yo te detekte tras medikaman sou preskripsyon tou nan rivyè ak lòt sous dlo anba tè.

Jounen Nasyonal pou Repran Medikaman Preskripsyon yo adrese yon pwoblèm enpòtan pou sekirite piblik ak sante piblik. Plis pase sèt milyon Ameriken kounye a abize medikaman sou preskripsyon, dapre Sondaj Nasyonal 2009 Administrasyon Sèvis Sante Mantal ak Abi Sibstans sou itilizasyon dwòg ak sante. Chak jou, apeprè 2,500 adolesan itilize medikaman sou preskripsyon pou yo vin wo pou premye fwa, dapre Partnership for a Drug Free America. Etid yo montre ke yon majorite nan dwòg preskripsyon abize yo jwenn nan fanmi ak zanmi, ki gen ladan kabinè medikaman lakay ou.

These Take-Back events are a significant piece of the White House’s prescription drug abuse prevention strategy released last week by the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Purging America’s home medicine cabinets of neglected drugs is one of four strategies for reducing prescription drug abuse and diversion laid out in Epidemic: Responding to America’s Prescription Drug Abuse Crisis. The other strategies include education of health care providers, patients, parents and youth; establishing prescription drug monitoring programs in all the states; and increased enforcement to address doctor shopping and pill mills.
