The Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (TDMHSAS) urges Tennesseans to dispose of their potentially dangerous unwanted, unneeded, or expired medications this Saturday, October 28, during the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.
The Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services will receive six million dollars in federal funding to provide medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction to people who otherwise might not have access to it.
TDMHSAS has appointed Joyce Kovacs as its new Chief Executive Officer for the State of Tennessee Middle Tennessee Mental Health Institute (MTMHI) in Nashville.
