NACWA is supporting the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) new nationwide prescription drug National Take-Back Day. DEA recently announced via press release that along with other government, community, public health and law enforcement partners, it would initiate a nationwide prescription drug “Take-Back Day” to remove potentially dangerous controlled substances from the Nation’s medicine cabinets. While the initiative is being held to bring national attention to the rising incidence of prescription drug abuse and theft, it will also provide communities an opportunity to educate their residents on the importance of keeping prescription medications from entering the Nation’s waterways.
