The numbers are huge. Nearly four billion prescriptions were filled in 2014 with nearly $85 million in over-the-counter medication sales every day, and the risk to the average Missoula household has risen, as well.

A prescription drug disposal event is scheduled for this Saturday at Missoula's Southgate Mall.

Over Mother's Day weekend, the Ravalli County Sheriff's Office, working in cooperation with authorities in Missoula and Washington State, executed arrest warrants for eleven suspects wanted for various drug-related offenses.

With spring break coming next week, The Missoula Forum for Children and Youth's Underage Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator, Brandee Tyree, offers advice to parents about their kids and their proximity to prescription drugs.

Legislation to combat prescription drug abuse and heroin addiction in the U.S. was passed on Thursday and Sen. Steve Daines announced over $750,000 will help tackle the crisis in Montana.

Montana Attorney General Tim Fox announced the availability of $20,000 in grant funding through the Montana Pharmacy Safe Medication Disposal Initiative on Thursday at the Florence Community Pharmacy.

The Montana Meth Project and Missoula Police Department are joining to promote National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day at Southgate Mall on Saturday April 26 from 10 am to 2 pm.
