Medication disposal bags hope to combat opioid crisis

State agencies are working alongside each other to provide at-home medication disposal bags. There will be 1,000 of them, called Deterra Medication Disposal Bags, available in Mineral County, according to Prevention Specialist Stephanie Quick at last week’s Healthy Communities Coalition. The bags will be distributed to the Mineral County Pharmacy, Partnership Health Center in Superior, law enforcement agencies, the county health department and school nurses.
