Covert Furniture Hopes to Have Some Effect on Opioid Problem with Secret Compartments to Hide Medications
Medicine Cabinet with Hidden Compartments offer prescription users an option to conceal medications and help reduce unauthorized access!
LAS VEGAS - July 3, 2016 -- Covert Furniture headquartered in Las Vegas Nevada, has announced the availability of the HYDE Medicine Cabinet - A medicine cabinet with secret compartments to keep prescription medications hidden from those who shouldn’t have access.
The HYDE medicine cabinet looks like a typical medicine cabinet. It is a well made wooden cabinet with an art deco design that mounts on your wall and has a mirrored door and storage space with adjustable shelves for toiletries and other items, but it also harbors a clever secret. It contains two locked and concealed compartments which appear as solid wooden columns on either side of the door to securely hide prescription medications when not in use. HYDE is an acronym for Hide Your Drugs Everyday.
How does it work?
The cabinet is mounted on a wall and filled with toiletries and other often used items. The user opens one of the hidden compartments using the secret method given only to customers. Adjustable shelves within the hidden compartment are set to the desired height and the prescription bottle(s) are placed on the shelves. The user then pushes the compartment closed until it locks shut. The medications are now safely locked up and hidden from sight!
The Purpose of the HYDE Medicine Cabinet!
Prescription medication misuse and abuse has become a major problem in the United States. Prescription medications are linked to crime and play a role as a gateway to heroin and other illicit drugs.
Covert Furniture company president Andy Anderson recently stated, "We realize this is not a panacea for the prescription drug problem, but we feel strongly that if more people were made aware of the vulnerability of prescription medications and were offered some method to limit others access, we might have at least a small effect on the prescription drug problem."
The Frightening Facts!
- Prescription drug abuse is the fastest-growing drug problem in the country creating an exploding street market for highly-addictive pain relief, anxiety and depression drugs.
- There is an intimate correlation between crime and prescription drug abuse.
- The prevalence of over-the-counter (OTC) and/or prescription medications increases the potential for accidental overdoses for children. See http://www.cdc.gov/MedicationSafety/protect/protect_Initiative.html, http://upandaway.org/ and http://www.knowyourotcs.org/tools/
