Become a Drug Abuse Prevention Advocate

BECOME A DRUG ABUSE PREVENTION ADVOCATE IN YOUR COMMUNITY 

Participating in a drug take-back program inside or outside of your store promotes customer loyalty, public health and safety, environmental health, demonstrates community leadership and more.

Here are ways to participate: 

  • Sponsor a drug take-back receptacle at a police station. Connect with your local law enforcement to create a partnership in reducing diversion.
  • Create leaflets to hand out to your patients that include the police precinct's address and instructions on properly disposing medications there. 

BENEFITS: 
  • You do not need to be certified by the DEA as a drug take-back collector. 

  • You are not responsible for disposing the prescription drugs.

  • It's a quick and efficient way to communicate to the community the importance of properly disposing medications. 

  • Positions you as a advocate for this movement in the community.
