National Prescription Drug Take Back Day

Every day more than 115 Americans Die after overdosing on opioids, including prescription pain killers.

The next National Prescription Drug Take Back Day for 2022 is scheduled for October 29th. The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day addresses a crucial public safety and public health issue. According to the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 6.4 million Americans abused controlled prescription drugs. The study shows that 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. Learn more at DEATakeBack.com.
