The drug overdose epidemic in the United States is a clear and present public health, public safety, and national security threat.

The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications.
