Count It! Lock It! Drop It! ™ Adds New Communities to Program

August 16, 2017 By Alex Windings

Last summer, CLD received a grant from the BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee Health Foundation to expand the program to counties identified as hot spots for prescription pill misuse. Since receiving the grant, CLD has added 24 new counties to its program, making it actively represented in 56 out of 95 counties in Tennessee, and a drop box can now be found in all 95 Tennessee counties.

Counties joining CLD include:

• Benton County
• Carroll County
• Claiborne County
• Cocke County
• Crockett County
• Cumberland County
• Decatur County
• Dyer County
• Fayette County
• Fentress County
• Gibson County
• Giles County
• Greene County
• Hancock County
• Hardin County
• Henderson County
• Humphreys County
• Lauderdale County
• Lawrence County
• Loudon County
• Polk County
• Scott County
• Sevier County
• Union County

“Prescription drug misuse has reached epidemic levels in the state of Tennessee,” said Kristina Clark, co-developer of the Count It! Lock It! Drop It!™ prescription drug abuse prevention program. “Becoming a CLD community is an easy way to get the conversation started in your area. Opioid addiction can happen to anybody, and raising awareness and being proactive about the issue can be the difference between life and death.”
