National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day
\nSaturday, April 30, 2011\u00a0\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a010 a.m. to 2 p.m. Local Time<\/p>\n

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and its community partners will hold the second\u00a0National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day<\/span><\/a> at sites throughout the United States. This will be an opportunity for the public to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs for safe disposal.<\/p>\n

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Prescription drugs are being misused and abused at alarming rates in the United States\u2014more Americans currently abuse prescription drugs than the number of those using cocaine, hallucinogens, and heroin combined, according to the\u00a02009 National Survey on Drug Use and Health<\/span><\/a>. Many Americans are not aware that medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse.<\/p>\n

The service is free and anonymous\u2014no questions asked.<\/p>\n
