This effort is part of the department's Dose of Reali- ty campaign to prevent pre- scription painkiller abuse. The first state-run take back day collected over 39,000 pounds of prescription med- ication. The goal of the Take Back Day is to provide a safe, con- venient and responsible means of disposal, while educating the community about the potential for abuse of these medications. "With the opiate epidemic devastating families and communities across our state, we must work together to remove unused prescrip- tion painkillers from circu- lation," Attorney General Brad Schimel said. "They need to be collected and destroyed. This program will also reduce the environ- mental hazards associated with the improper disposal of unused prescription drugs." Unused or expired medicine should never be flushed or poured down the drain. Water reclamation facilities are not designed to remove all of them and trace amounts of pharmaceuti- cals are showing up in rivers and lakes around the world, according to a DOJ release. The take back days started four years ago and were coordinated by the Drug Enforcement Agency, but after 2014 the federal govern- ment announced it would no longer support states with funding or coordinating the events. When Schimel took office in 2014, he brought back the take back day. DOJ Director of Commu- nications and Public Affairs Anne E. Schwartz said there is no way to know the specif- ic type of prescription drug collected, e.g. opioids or over the counter medicine. "It would take many man- hours to collect that data and would need to be done by the agency with the drop box or running the collec- tion," Schwartz said. "By the time DOJ receives the drugs, they are out of their bottles." The DOJ infers it is mak- ing a positive impact because it is removing the drugs from circulation. "We know that 70 percent of prescription drugs are obtained through diversion so we can make an informed guess that collecting 20 tons of prescription drugs is hav- ing a positive effect on pre- venting prescription drug abuse," Schwartz said. Guidelines for the day ■ All waste pharmaceuti- cals must be generated by a household — no businesses are allowed. ■ Prescription both con- trolled and over-the-counter medications, ointments, patches, non-aerosol sprays, creams, vials and pet medi- cations are all accepted. ■ Illegal drugs, needles and sharps, inhalers, aerosol cans, bio-hazardous materials — anything con- taining a bodily fluid or blood, personal care prod- ucts — shampoo, soaps, lotions or sunscreen, house- hold hazardous waste — paint, pesticides, oil, gas or mercury thermometers are not allowed at the event. ■ Participants may dis- pose of solid, non-liquid medication(s) by removing the medication from its con- tainer and disposing of it directly into a disposal box or into a clear sealable plas- tic bag. ■ Plastic pill containers should not be collected. Blis- ter packages are acceptable without the medications being removed. ■ Liquids will be accepted during this initiative. How- ever, the liquids, creams and sprays must be in their orig- inal packaging and evenly distributed within the boxes of collected solid prescrip- tion medications. Liquids without the original packag- ing will not be accepted. ■ Illicit substances such as marijuana or metham- phetamine are not a part of this initiative and should not be placed in collection containers.

OCONOMOWOC — Rogers Memorial Hospital recently held a ceremony to dedi- cate the Charles E. Kubly FOCUS Center, renaming the facility that houses the FOCUS residential treatment program. The facility, currently undergoing final renovations, will have expanded capacity for up to 33 residents. FOCUS began in 2014 as an intensive res- idential program for young adults age 18 to 30 with depression and mood disorders who are having difficulty transitioning into adulthood. With this expansion, Rogers will move toward adding a track for adults over 30. "We are extremely grateful to the Kublys for their generous $2.5 million gift which is helping us to better serve young adults with depression and mood disorders," says Patrick R. Hammer, president and CEO of Rogers Behavioral Health System. The Kubly gift will also support the build- ing of a new transitional living facility that will provide FOCUS residents with a step- down treatment option where residents are able to return to school or work, while under the supervision of a therapeutic team. The donation will also contribute toward research for a computer-based treatment tool for depression. The Rogers Memorial Hospital Founda- tion raises philanthropic support to ensure the future of the hospital as it provides effective treatment for those suffering from mental illness. It also cultivates awareness of the hospital's mission and builds long- term relationships for philanthropic sup- port. All donations directly support the hospital's patients and Rogers Memorial treatment programs, providing long-term financial stability for the hospital.
