Our Mission
IAA's mission is to improve the quality of life for people living with, affected by or at risk for HIV/AIDS or other stigmatized conditions - often related to sex or drug use - through harm reduction, resource development and advocacy as best suits the people who need help.
Drug Take Back Day
Turn in any unused or expired prescription drugs (NO syringes), including opioids to any of the locations participating in National Prescription Drug Take Back Day:
Alaska State Troopers
1979 Peger Road
North Pole Police Department
125 Snowman Lane
Fred Meyer East and Fred Meyer West
Fairbanks Police Department
911 Cushman Street
Protect your family and our community by safely disposing of unused prescription opioids. Opioids such as Oxycontin carry significant risks of addiction and overdose. It takes all of us to make a difference.
The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day addresses a crucial public safety and public health issue. According to the 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, a majority of abused prescription drugs were obtained from family and friends--often from the home medicine cabinet.
The DEA’s Take Back Day events provide an opportunity for Americans to prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths.
