Partners for Innovative Communities and Reach Out are encouraging the local community to participate in the 10th annual National Take Back Day on Saturday, September 26, 2015. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and several law enforcement agencies will be accepting expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs at several locations throughout San Bernardino County.
According to the FDA, over 35 million Americans abuse prescription medications including opioids annually. National Take Back Day takes place from 10am-2pm at most locations nationally focusing on reducing prescription abuse amongst the general population and youth, since the majority of teens and family members frequently have access to prescription medications of either friends or other family members within the household. So we encourage everyone to do your part and visit DEA.gov to find locations near you that are participating in National Take Back Day to help protect your family.
