RETHINK RX ABUSE
Arizona is losing someone every day to prescription painkillers – including older adults. This trend affects every parent, grandparent and guardian in Arizona, regardless of race or social status. Right now, communities are coming together and taking action to end this epidemic. To make a real change, we need to rethink the way we use, store, discard and discuss prescription drugs.

Medication Literacy and Management Resources for Professionals
Medication problems plague people of all ages as well as families, caregivers, and the entire health care system. Medication errors among older people cost about $177 billion each year. If such errors were counted as a disease, they would be the fifth leading cause of death for Americans over 65. (2009)
