Press Release

*                                     DEA HOLDS ITS FIFTH PRESCRIPTION
DRUG TAKE-BACK DAY * *                                     SEPTEMBER
29 AS PUBLIC PARTICIPATION CONTINUES TO RISE**WASHINGTON, D.C. – *With
public participation at an all-time high after four prior events in
two years, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and its national,
tribal, and community partners will hold a fifth National Prescription
Drug Take Back Day at thousands of sites across America on Saturday
the 29th.  These Take Back Days give the public the opportunity to
prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially
dangerous expired, unused, or unwanted prescription drugs.  Collection
sites are open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time.  The service is free and
anonymous, no questions asked.   Americans participating in DEA's four
previous Take-Back Days turned in nearly 1.6 million
pounds—almost 774 tons—of prescription drugs, most recently at almost
5,700 sites operated by nearly 4,300 of the DEA's s local law
enforcement partners. DEA's  last event collected more than double the
pills as their first one two years ago, with almost 50% more
participating agencies and sites this past April than in September of
2010. "The growing response to DEA's national Take Back Day events
demonstrates that the public understands, and wants to help combat,
the epidemic of prescription drug abuse in America.  They recognize
the need to rid their homes of dangerous controlled substance
medications that teens and others steal, abuse, and sell," said DEA
Administrator Michele Leonhart.  "DEA will continue holding these
national Take Back Day events as long as they are needed to prevent
diversion, addiction, and overdose deaths." Medicines that languish in
home cabinets create a public health and safety concern because they
are
highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse.  Rates of
prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high--more
Americans currently abuse prescription drugs than the number of those
using cocaine, hallucinogens, and heroin combined, according to the
2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health.  Studies show that a
majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and
friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.    The public can
find a nearby collection site by visiting www.dea.gov, clicking on the
"Got Drugs?" icon, and following the links to a database where they
enter their zip code.    Four days after DEA's first Take Back event
two years ago, Congress passed the Secure and Responsible Drug
Disposal Act of 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to
allow an "ultimate user" of controlled substance medications to
dispose of them by delivering them to entities authorized by the
Attorney General to
accept them.  The Act also allows the Attorney General to authorize
long term care facilities to dispose of their residents' controlled
substances in certain instances.  DEA is in the process of drafting
regulations to implement the Act.
