Saturday April 28th, 10:00 – 2:00, the D.E.A. has scheduled their third national drug take-back day. The D.E.A. is addressing the problem of  unwanted, unused prescription drugs. This is the chance to rid your home of these medications. Assisted Transitions is keenly aware of this problem in our clients’ homes. Please take this opportunity to go through your medicine cabinets.
