Stanly County Project Lazarus partner agencies work together to host medication take back events and distribute medication lockboxes several times each year.  They also work to inform the public about permanent medication dropbox locations at Albemarle Police Department, Oakboro Police Department, and Norwood Police Department.  The purpose of this program is to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications. 

All residents of Stanly County with special emphasis on prescription drug safety in homes where children reside.

Safe storage of prescription drugs and proper disposal of prescription medications reduces the amount of drugs available for illicit use and accidental poisoning.
