YouthThink of Wasco County has received an American Medical Association grant to help reduce the incidence of prescription drug misuse.  Debby Jones of YouthThink says Oregon has one of the highest prescription drug abuse rates in the country, and the organization wants to ramp up its efforts to promote proper disposal of unused prescription drugs.  Jones notes YouthThink has a drop box inside The Dalles Police Department for people to dispose of prescription drugs.   She adds the organization plans to host the Oregon Health Authority’s Jim McElvaney this summer to make presentations in the community to help educate citizens about opioids.
