Take It Back: Together We Can Reduce Prescription Drug Abuse

  • Prescription Drug Abuse

By DEA Administrator Michele M. Leonhart

I am pleased to announce that on April 27th, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will provide another opportunity for the public to help their communities prevent drug abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.  To participate, please bring your medications for disposal to one of the more than 5,000 collection sites listed on the National Take-Back Initiative page on the DEA website, www.dea.gov.  The service is free and anonymous—no questions asked.

The Highway to Heroin

in
  • Heroin
  • Prescription Drug

The push to close pill mills and reduce the painkiller supply is creating a new problem. Opiate addicts need their fix, so when they can’t easily get their pills to pop, they’re often turning to heroin.

In communities that are cracking down on pill mills and doctor shopping, heroin-related deaths are increasing. Experts warn that if heroin use isn’t increasing in your area yet, it’s just a matter of time.
 
During this hour-long program, “Highway to Heroin,” hear how communities are dealing with two serious drug problems at the same time. Learn how to prepare for an influx of heroin. See how partners in the Cleveland, Ohio area are working together to stop opiate abuse.
