overview
This project focused on raising awareness of the dangers of opioids and resources of how/where to dispose of unused and unneeded medications. The campaign responded to growing concern about the accessibility of unused prescription and over-the-counter medications.
The Cortland County Drug Disposal program is one of the most successful in the state thanks, in part, to the coordinated and targetd approach to marketing the program throughout the community.
