Lock Your Meds
Our Prevention Initiatives
67% of people who misuse prescription medications get them from family and friends. They think these medications are safe. But in the wrong hands, they’re not.
To prevent prescription medication overdose:
- Count and properly secure your medications
- Dispose of all medications responsibly
- Spread the word in your community
Medication Drop-Off Events
The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) hosts National Prescription Drug Take Back Day twice a year – in April and October. The event aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for misuse of medications.
Next National Take Back Day: April 25, 2026
