Crowley Pharmacy Helps To Fight Opioid Epidemic

What do you do with drugs that you no longer need? Maybe you have heard about one-day opportunities to dispose of unused or unwanted medications. Carmichael’s Cashway Pharmacy in Crowley is now making it easy to dispose of drugs in a safe convenient manner, every day.

Carmichael’s Drug Take Back

It can be a dangerous situation when expired or unused medications get into the wrong hands. According to Acadia Parish Sheriff K.P.Gibson

“with the abuse of prescription drugs, it is important to remove unused medications from your residence to make sure that they are destroyed properly.”

The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that opioid addiction is one of the biggest medical problems facing our country today, with at least 130 deaths attributed to opioid overdoses, each day in the United States.

This new project is another example of Carmichael’s, an independently-operated pharmacy, effort to keep communities and customers safe.
