This innovative Program pulled environmental and law enforcement together from differing viewpoints and backgrounds to make a permanent unwanted medications collections program that works.  It also brought together citizen groups, anti-drug groups, pharmacists and concerned citizens throughout Minnesota and other states to address this issue.  The implementation of the Program brought with it certain challenges, but these were overcome by persevering and working through issues with partners and vendors.  In the final analysis, the Unwanted Medications Disposal Program is creating change and bringing results and attention to a major issue which is helping to protect the environment and make youth safer.  If this Program can help prevent one child from an overdose, prevent one child from criminal prosecution for selling drugs, or prevent one water source from contamination, we have prevailed in our efforts.  There is no formula for these cost savings.  They are the priceless benefits of our program.
