Stout also announced that through the prescription drug takeback events and the Disposed of Unwanted Medications Properly initiatives throughout the county, the task force collected more than 20,000 pounds of unwanted prescription drugs last year. “But what I really want to touch upon with council are our outreach and harm reduction programs,” he said. “With this drug epidemic, we can’t arrest our way out of it, treat our way out of it or educate our way out of it. It needs to be a three-pronged collaborative approach.”
