The national drug epidemic remains a serious threat to public health and safety, with devastating consequences for families and communities across the United States. At POA, we are committed to doing our part to promote the well-being of our patients and the larger community. That’s why we are proud to support the DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, a vital initiative aimed at reducing the misuse of prescription medications and preventing addiction before it starts.
Proper disposal of unused or expired medications prevents accidental misuse and protects our environment by keeping harmful substances out of water systems and local ecosystems. By participating in Drug Take Back Day, you contribute to the fight against drug addiction and help to make our communities safer and healthier places to live.
If you have unused, unneeded medication at home, we urge you to take action today—find a designated Drug Take Back Day location and safely dispose of any medications you no longer need. Together, we can reduce the risks of overdose, prevent drug-related violence, and build a brighter future.
Visit the Take Back Day Website to find a site near you. Every small step makes a big difference!
