SAN ANTONIO — KENS Cares wants your help to Crush The Crisis by turning in unneeded medication for safe disposal.
On Saturday, October 26, 2024, community members are invited to safely dispose of their unused or expired medications during Drug Take-Back Day.
Keeping drugs in the home, especially opioids, can make them vulnerable to misuse, theft or abuse by loved ones and visitors, including children and teens.
Drug Take-Back Day encourages the public to remove unneeded medications from their homes as a measure of preventing medication misuse, overdoses, and even opioid addiction from ever starting.
Various Methodist Healthcare locations throughout the city will accept medications on Saturday, October 26. (Times TBA.)
