Next Drug Take Back Day scheduled for Oct. 27
Drug Take Back Days are a key tool in our efforts to battle the opioid epidemic. They provide a convenient, responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating people about the potential for abuse of medications. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration coordinates two National Prescription Drug Take Back Days each year, with the next one scheduled for Oct. 27.
As we’ve done previously, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan supports Drug Take Back Day in various ways. For example, we’ll:
You can subscribe to MI Blues Perspectives, a good source of Blue Cross and Michigan health news, and have blogs sent directly to your email inbox.
To find a drug disposal facility near you, use the DEA’s search tool** or Michigan OPEN’s Opioid Disposal Map.** For more information, visit the DEA Diversion Control Division website** or Michigan OPEN’s Opioid Disposal Information and Resources page.**
