Take Back Prescription Day
Prescription Drugs
This weekend marks the first official “Take back prescription drug day”. Many locations throughout the United States are joining with the DEA to set up drop off locations for anyone wanting to drop off unwanted, unused prescription drugs to any location that is participating.
Less than a month into the Drug Enforcement Administration’s prescription drug “Take-Back” campaign, over 3,400 sites nationwide have joined the effort that seeks to prevent increased pill abuse and theft. Government, community, public health and law enforcement partners will be collecting potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs for destruction at these sites all across the nation o n Saturday, September 25th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
Prescription Drug Abuse is at epic proportion and this is a huge step in taking back our country from this drug addiction.
