Over 63% of Americans have unused prescriptions in their homes.
Last year over 93,000 drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States – the highest number of overdose deaths ever recorded. We know that opioid dependence often starts in the home, the medicine cabinet is the #1 source for prescription drugs for children. Through our partnership with Deterra, we can help keep medications out of the wrong hands.
Eliminate the risk and destroy these drugs for good by supporting SAFE Project’s Gone for Good Campaign.
¼ of all overdoses involved teenagers. Let’s change that.
Last year, SAFE Project and Deterra provided 45,000 households an at-home disposal solution, eliminating up to 4 million prescription or over-the-counter pills, or 540,000 ounces of liquids or creams, or 540,000 patches or films. This year we want to reach even more families and communities. Help us stop the cycle of drug abuse, misuse, and diversion by joining SAFE Project and Deterra in ridding the country of unused and expired medication.
