The Drug Enforcement Administration   & D.A.R.E. America Announce Second Nationwide Prescription Drug Take-Back April 30

DARE America is proud to partner with the Drug Enforcement Administration giving the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Last September, Americans turned in over 242,000 pounds—121 tons—of prescription drugs.

To deal with the abuse of prescription drugs D.A.R.E. America has developed a new school curriculum which addresses Rx and OTC Drug Abuse.

"The rise in prescription abuse, requires action, and that is why we have worked with the manufacturers of these medicines and our own experts in developing this new curriculum," noted Charlie Parsons, President and Chief Executive Officer of D.A.R.E America.  This new curriculum is now incorporated into D.A.R.E.'s law enforcement officer-led classes.

This year’s event will take place Saturday, April 30th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
