The Proactive Approach to Addressing the Opioid Epidemic

How does drug disposal prevent opioid misuse, abuse and overdoses?

  • Prevent Diversion

    Unused opioids can be a source of drugs for individuals who seek to abuse or sell them. This is known as drug diversion, and poses a significant public health problem. By safely disposing of opioids, we can reduce the availability of drugs for diversion and prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.

  • Reduce Access

    70% of opioids prescribed post surgical use are leftover and unused, and often end up stockpiled in a home medicine cabinet. Remove the threat from your home by safely deactivating and destroying medications.

  • Reduce the Risk of Accidental Ingestion

    When opioids are left in the home, they can be accessed by children, pets, or individuals with cognitive impairments, which can lead to accidental ingestion and poisoning. By safely disposing of opioids, we can reduce the risk of accidental ingestion and overdose.mediately upon contact.

Let’s Fight This Crisis Together!

The vision of Rx Destroyer and the role it would play in drug diversion was inspired by the tragic death of a teenager overdosing on medications retrieved from a nursing home dumpster. This very avoidable fatality shone a glaring light on the absence of drug deactivation solutions, and the overdose risks that existed in drug stockpiling and poor disposal practices.
