#StartWithOneRx Campaign

Start With One Rx Logo

The Get the Facts Rx campaign, led by the Washington State Health Care Authority, raises awareness about the dangers of prescription drug misuse. It provides practical guidance on safe storage, responsible use, and proper disposal of medications. By following these steps, families can help protect youth and prevent opioid misuse in their communities.

How You Can Help

  • Safely Store Medications: Keep all medications locked up and out of reach of children, teens, and other vulnerable populations.
  • Never Share Medications: Prescription medications are prescribed for a single individual and can be dangerous if shared.
  • Talk to Your Kids: Start conversations about the dangers of medication misuse, opioids, and alcohol. Encourage them to ask questions and speak up if they see unsafe use.
  • Spread the Word: Tell family, friends, and neighbors about safe medication disposal and storage options in our community.
  • Dispose of Unused Medications: Bring expired or unneeded medications to drop-off locations or use mail-back programs. Visit medtakebackwashington.org for details in Washington State.
