South Carolina CVS Pharmacies help to combat the Opioid epidemic

CVS Pharmacy announced it will expand its safe medication disposal programs to South Carolina.

This is to try and help facilitate the proper disposal of opioids and other medications.

According to reports, there are 22 new medication disposal units in select CVS Pharmacies, throughout South Carolina.

“We know that opioids and other dangerous drugs often end up in the wrong hands after being taken out of parents' and grandparents' medicine cabinets," said Attorney General Wilson. "We appreciate CVS's efforts to help fight the opioid epidemic by giving people a safe and easy way to dispose of unwanted medications."
