Today Is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day

April 22, 2023 4:32 am

The Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs and Department of military and Veterans Affairs are encouraging Pennsylvanians to take part in the Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. Drug take back stations are set up throughout Washington County today. If you are not able to take part in the program today, there are hundreds of drug take back boxes placed throughout Pennsylvania 365 days a year. Most of those can be found at local police stations. Since the inception of Pennsylvania’s drug take back program in 2015, more than one million pounds of prescription medication has been destroyed across all 67 Pennsylvania counties.
