Did you know there is an opioid crisis happening in our country right now. Every day over 130 people in the US die after overdosing on opioids, that's over 47,000 people a year.
Opioids are a class of drugs that include the illegal drug heroin, synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, and pain relievers available legally by prescription, such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, morphine, and many others.
The DEA wants you to help prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths
by properly disposing of your unused, unwanted and expired prescription drugs. That's why they have created the bi-annual National Prescription Take Back Day.
