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.
