The drug overdose epidemic in the United States is a clear and present public health, public safety and national security threat. DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day reflects DEA’s commitment to Americans’ safety and health, encouraging the public to remove unneeded medications from their homes as a measure of preventing medication misuse and opioid addiction from ever starting.
DEA and HOPKINS COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE is committed to making our communities safer and healthier. We can do this by reducing overdoses and overdose deaths. While the community does its part to turn in unneeded medications and remove them from potential harm, we are doing our part to further reduce drug-related violence.
Intravenous solutions, injectable items, and syringes will not be accepted due to potential hazard posed by blood-borne pathogens.
