HOME DRUG DEACTIVATION POUCHES AVAILABLE TO COMMUNITY RESIDENTS
Curry County Offers Deterra Pouches to our Community for Safe Medication Disposal.
Deterra pouches are a drug deactivation system that allows anyone to destroy unused medications quickly and easily at home. These pouches are proven to eliminate unwanted or expired medications safely and permanently, making them unavailable for misuse and accidental ingestion. Deterra pouches are made of plant-based materials and non-toxic, environmentally friendly ingredients. According to SAMHSA, “almost 47% of teens say it is easy to get prescription drugs from a parent’s medicine cabinet.”
The Curry County Prevention Team has received Deterra pouches from the New Mexico Department of Health for disbursement throughout the community. The pouches are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, and anyone can receive them. Pick them up at the Curry County Administration Complex between 8 am-5 pm Monday-Friday.
For more information about Deterra pouches, please contact Curry County Administration at 575.763.6016.
