DEA to hold 22nd National Prescription Drug Take Back Day T he Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will host its 22nd National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, April 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This biannual event off ers free, anonymous disposal of unneeded medications at more than 4,000 local drop-off locations nationwide. “Disposing of unneeded medications can help prevent drugs from being misused,” said DEA Administrator Anne Milgram. 419 BROADWAY, EVERETT MA 02149 Member FDIC Member DIF “Overdose deaths continue to hit tragic record highs. I encourage everyone to dispose of unneeded prescription medications now.” Drug overdose deaths have risen by 16 percent in the last year, claiming more than 290 lives every day. According to a report published by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, most people who misused a prescription medication obtained the medicine from a family member or friend. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that in the United States more than 106,000 people died as the result of a drug overdose in the 12-month period ending November 2021, marking the most drug-related deaths ever recorded, with opioid-related deaths accounting for 75 percent of all overdose deaths. For more than a decade, DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day has helped Americans easily rid their homes of unneeded medications – those that are old, unwanted or no longer needed – that too often become a gateway to addiction. Working in close partnership with local law enforcement, Take Back Day has removed more than 15 million pounds of medication from circulation since its inception. These eff orts are directly in line with DEA’s priority to combat the overdose epidemic in the United States. On April 30, DEA and its law enforcement partners will collect tablets, capsules, patches and other solid forms of prescription drugs.
